Kid, I hope you will be like this pencil when you grow up.

Qualities of a pencil:

"First quality: now and then, we have to stop writing and use a sharpener. That makes the pencil suffer a little but afterwards, he's much sharper. So you, too, must learn to bear certain pains and sorrows, because they will make you a better person.

Second quality: the pencil always allows us to use an eraser to rub out any mistakes. This means that correcting something we did is not necessarily a bad thing; it helps to keep us on the road to justice.

Third quality: what really matters in a pencil is not the wooden exterior, but the graphite inside. So always pay attention to what is happening inside you.

Fourth quality: it always leaves a mark. In just the same way you should know that everything you do in life will leave a mark, so try to be conscious of that in your every action."
