Pencil and you

Shared by Motivational Memo Newsletter from Australia.

Dear Prof,

The pencil maker took the pencil aside just before putting it into the pencil case. There are 5 things you need to know', he told the pencil ' before I send you into the world. Always remember them, never forget and you will become the best pencil you can be:-

Here they are:-

1. You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be guided by your parents, teachers and mentors.

2. You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you will need it to become a better pencil.

3. You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

4. The most important part of you will always be what is inside.

5. On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the contions, you must continue to write.

The pencil understood, promised to remember and went into the pencil case with purpose in its heart.

The MOTIVATION #8

The meaning of man’s life
Matches the marvels of
Man’s labor.



The value of work and its contribution to achievement
Has long been recognized by philosophers, teachers,
Poets, writers, and business people; they all have endorsed,
“Nothing does as much good for a man,
As a hard day’s work.”

Henry Ford II said;
“The first specific qualification for success
In my view is a strong work ethic.”

Paul J.Meyer says:
“Work is PURE JOY!
…work refines character,
….Work weeds-out the garden of the mind,
…..Work overcomes adversity and defeat.
…..Work is the breath of life.
…..Work is the reward for being alive.”

The reality remains
Work is life, and good work is good life.

Hence,
Learn to enjoy your work; work long and hard,
And give your job extra burst and energy,
If you do it that way; you’ll stand a
Much better chance of reaching your goal.
