In the beginning, there was a Pencil Maker who spoke to a Pencil, saying,
“There are 5 things you need to know before I send you out into the world.
Always remember them and you will become the best pencil you can be.
First: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you will allow yourself to be held in Someone’s hand.
Second: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time but this is required if you are to become a better pencil.
Third: You have the ability to correct any mistake you might make.
Fourth: The most important part of you will always be on what is inside.
Fifth: No matter what the conditions are, you must continue to write. You must always leave a clear, legible mark no matter how difficult the situation.
The pencil understood, promising to remember these and went into the box understanding its Maker’s purpose now.
