In "Like the Flowing River" by Paulo Coelho, there is a story about a pencil.
Below given is the gist of the story.
The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.
"There are 4 things you need to know," he told the pencil, "before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."
One "You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil."
Two: "You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make."
Three: "The most important part of you will always be what's inside."
Four: "On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write."
The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.
Now please replace the pencil with you.
One: "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 and better person."
Two: "You will be able to correct any mistake you might make. So do not be afraid of making mistakes."
Three: "The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside. What you think and feel is more important than how you look."
Four: "On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties. Leave your legacy when you leave this world."
You are special. Only you can fulfill the purpose for which you were born.
