Fw: The Parable Of The Pencil

The Parable Of The Pencil

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.

"There are 5 things you need to know," he told the pencil, "Before I send you

out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become

the best pencil you can be.""One: You will be able to do many great things, but

only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand.""Two: You will

experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become

a better pencil.""Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might

make.""Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside.""And

Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter

what the condition, you must continue to write."The pencil understood and

promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.Now

replace the pencil with you.

Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you

can be. One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow

yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you

for the many gifts you possess.Two: You will experience a painful sharpening

from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you'll need

it to become a stronger person. Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes

you might make. Four: The most important part of you will always be what's on

the inside.And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your

mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.

Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special

person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to

accomplish.Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is

insignificant and cannot make a change.

Sai Ram Madhavi,

 

You again did it with a wonderful subtle example of a very simple everyday thing - a pencil.

I enjoyed reading it over and over again.

 

There was this text of an interview with Mr. James Sinclair sent in by Ram

Chugani - I have not read such an open interview every before - I recommend you

to reading it if not already done.

 

Sai Ram - Be Happy
