Thanks
to Harvey McKay, author of Swim with the
Sharks, I want to borrow the seeds for this article.
A
common pencil is not much to look at, but it holds some
First – a pencil can do a lot of things, but not by itself. Like a pencil, we have to allow ourselves to
be held in someone’s hand and guided.
Second – like a pencil, we occasionally will go through a series of
sharpening experiences from time to time to help us keep our point. And each time, we come out refreshed, and
like brand new.
Third – we have a ‘fixer’ on the other end in case we make
mistakes. We get a do-over. Don’t you love erasers?
Fourth – regardless of the color on the outside, or the scratches and
dents on our surface, the most important part will always be what's inside.
Fifth – to make your mark, you have to put your lead to the paper, you
have to make contact. Action is the
order of the day.
