A Story of a Pencil
Hello!
I am here with one of my best story, through which I draw my inspiration and like sharing about. Its about a mysterious, enormously influential tool, a humble Pencil.
Before that, have you ever wondered when and how pencil came into an existence? Lets check it out.

The modern pencil was invented in 1795 by Nicholas-Jacques Conte, a scientist serving in the army of Napoleon Bonaparte. Pencil is an older word, derived from the Latin ‘pencillus’, meaning ‘little tail’, to describe the small ink brushes used for writing in the Middle Ages.
Awesome right? In fact it was discovered in Europe. The pencil then took a great journey from invention to the emerging of manufacturing units in 1832. I am not sure of when the story might have taken place but I suspect in between the above time.
The stories goes like this,
There was a Pencil Maker who took the pencil aside, 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 will 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.
Moral of the Story:
Now replacing the place of 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.
Hay friends,
We all have a purpose (Jeremiah 29:11), we are to leave marks of a great works, we are not here by chance of by means of luck, we are not an accident but we are wonderfully and fearfully made (Psalms 139:14) in the image of God. We also have a Creator who has sent us to this world with a purpose. Let us make a difference.
God bless you
