First:  Everything you do will always leave a mark;

Second:  You can always correct the mistakes you make

Third:  What is important is what is inside you;

Fourth:  In life, you will undergo painful sharpenings but it will make you a better pencil;

And Fifth:  To be the best pencil you can be, you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the Hand that Holds you.
