The Pencil Parable

took this from the FD guidance.

1) You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be guided.

2) You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but this is required if you are to become a better pencil.

3) You have the ability to correct any mistakes you make.

4) The most important part of you will always be what's inside.

5) No matter what the condition, you must continue to write. You must always leave a clear, legible mark, no matter how difficult the situation.


Each of you is like a pencil, created for a unique and special purpose.
