I was wondering what post to write and nothing seem to strike me. There are times the musings of writing just don't seem to visit me. Just then, as if my prayers were answered, a message from Mr. Patwardhan lands on my mobile. Here it is and a very interesting thought at that - 'Five important lesons to learn from a pencil.'
One: It tells you that evertyhing you do will always leave a mark
Two: You can always correct the mistakes you make
Three: What is important is what's inside you and not outside of you
Four: In life you undergo painful sharpenings which will make you better in what you do
Five: To be the best you can be, you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you.
What perspective. Thanks Mr. Patwardhan for sharing.

Oh! Debrah, nice to have you back. Your comments are always a delight, my friend. Keep coming over and I have a great writer coming over.
Thanks Jabblog.
Typically for work, I'm required to use a blue ink pen. But it was this morning, as I was preparing tax forms and such that I grabbed a pencil. Perfect timing to read your blog. Delightful!
Thanks Aleta. Great to note the coincidence. Please come over.
That's a great thinking...
The thoughts
"What is important is what's inside you and not outside of you"
"In life you undergo painful sharpenings which will make you better in what you do"
seem to be really enlightening...
Very simple and enlightening sir.
That was just so cool! I already look at the pencil with added respect!!!
How true...
