if we just see a pencil with one perception, we might think it usage is just for writing, not more than that..
according to Paulo Coelho, it is more than just a tool for writing…it also can be relate to our real life.
‘Coelho’s writing is beautifully poetic but his message is what counts…
Life is like a pencil….is it true???
So lets see..how Paulo Coelho come out with with his anology to relate life to a pencil.
Capability
a pencil capable to write if only one hand exist to guide it through the writing.
Same as our life, we are capable to leave alone and survive, but still we need guidance and ALLAH exists to be the best guidance that we should refer to.
Improvement
After being used for sometimes…a pencil blunts and need to be sharpened. It suffers for a while, and after that it can perform better.
In life, in order to be a better person, we need to go through tough time, feel pains and sorrow and learn by experienced.
Correction
A pencil allows eraser to erase any mistake done in the writing and do correction after that.
As human being, we are not perfect. We have to accept any comments or criticize positively in order erase our defect and replace it with the better one….
Interior
No matter how nice the wooden part being decorated, a pencil is useless without the
graphite part. The most important thing is the interior part which is the graphite
part.
It is just similar to life…the interior part will reflect exterior part.
Mark
Pencil always left a mark anywhere, on the paper, on the wall or on the table sometimes.
In life….anything we do always remains as a mark in our heart or others people heart. So it is very important…to be carefully because the first cut is the deepest.
