Lapis
A pencil maker told the pencils five important lessons.
one- everything you do will always leave a mark.
two- you can always correct the mistakes you make.
three- what is important is what is inside you.
four- in life, you will undergo painful sharpenings which will make you a better pencil.
..and most important of all,
five- to be the best pencil you can be, you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you.
