Parable of the Pencil

My friend shared this on her Facebook page yesterday, and I loved it, so here it is:

Parable of the Pencil

1. You will be able to do great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held by someone higher than you.
2. It is ok to experience a painful sharpening from time to time.
3. The most important part of you will always be what’s on the inside. Be men and women of honor, relying on your inner core values and morals.
4. You will make mistakes. Everyone does. That is why pencils have an eraser.
5. Make your mark. Make a difference wherever you go.
