第16章 在微尘与浮梁之上 (16)

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

Now replacing the place of the pencil with you. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God’s hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you’ll need it to become a stronger person.

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

Four: The most important part of you will always be what’s on the inside.

And five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.

Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish.

Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot make a change.

铅笔被放入盒子前,铅笔制造商把它拿到一旁。

他告诉铅笔:“在我将你送到世界各地前,你要知道5件事,并时刻铭记在心,永远不要忘怀。这样,你才能成为最好的铅笔。

“第一,你能做出许多伟大的事情。前提是,你必须允许别人用手握住你。

“第二,有时,你会体验被削尖的痛楚,但这种经历会让你变得更优秀。

“第三,你要能改正自己可能犯下的任何错误。

“第四,内芯是你身体最重要的部分。

“第五,你必须在被使用的每一个表面留下痕迹。不论在何种情况下,你都得继续写下去。”

铅笔明白了这些道理,并许诺永远铭记。然后,它胸怀这个目标进入了盒子。

现在,换位思考一下,把自己假想为铅笔。永远记住它们,永不忘却,这样你就能成为最出色的人。

第一,你能成就丰功伟业,但你必须允许上帝对你的掌控,并允许他人因觊觎你的天赋而接近你。

第二,你会经历生活中的各种艰难险阻,不时体验磨难的痛苦。但是,你需要它们,这样你才能变得更坚强。

第三,你要能纠正自己可能犯下的任何错误。

第四,内在品质是你的最大财富。

第五,你必须在你所有途经之地,留下足迹。不论何种情况,你都必须尽职尽责。

让这则关于铅笔的寓言来激励你,让你知道自己是独一无二的。你与生俱来的目标,只有你自己才能实现。

永远别让自己气馁,不要认为自己的生命微不足道,且无法改变。
