Happy Friday everyone!
I recently heard of 4 things you can do to be the best person you can be and they all come from a pencil. First, in order for a pencil to become useful, from time to time and again and again, it is going to have to be sharpened. If a pencil could feel, then you could imagine the excruciating pain of sharpening. But that's what it takes for it to be useful. Life is much the same. Painful experiences and challenges come to all of us, but it is through these opportunities that you build character and you grow. Second, remember that you will be able to correct many of the mistakes you made along the way. Similar to the eraser on a pencil. If we learn from our mistakes, then they are not mistakes. They are lessons we learn to do better the next time around. Third, just like a pencil, any place where you are engaged, you leave your mark. You're writing your own story. Fourth, always remember that the most important part of you is what's inside.
Happy Friday!!
