Something i have read recently, by Paulo Coelho - the story of the pencil...from ....Like the Flowing River
Have you ever thought of the 5 qualities of a pencil? I find it interesting cz it reflects so brilliantly in my life... and i want to be a good pencil.
~First Quality~ as a pencil, can be very capable of great things, but shall never forget that a pencil should always be guided by a well hand on the moves, which would be my believes.
~Second Quality~ now and then, when i'm blunt, i have to stop writing and use a sharpener. It will make me feel a lil suffer but after that i will become a much sharper pencil. A bit of sorrows that i experience in life, will make me a stronger and better person.
~Third Quality~ pencil always allows ppl to correct its mistake with an eraser to rub. Being corrected is not necessarily a bad thing cz this will lead me to a brighter path.
~Fourth Quality~ the appearance of wooden exterior that covers the pencil doesn't really matter cz is the graphite inside that counts the quality.
~Fifth Quality~ pencil always leaves a mark. I must always be mindful cz whatever i have done in my life will leave a mark.
I like Coelho's work, its really inspiring and powerful.
