　　The pencil maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box．

　　“There are five 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 be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone’s hand．!”

　　“Two：you will experience painful sharpening from time to time, but it will make you a better pencil．”

　　“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(表面)where you are used, you must leave your mark．No matter what the condition(情况), you must continue to write．”

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

　　Now replace(替换)the pencil with yourself．Always remember these steps and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be．

　　One：allow other human beings to make use of the many gifts you possess(拥有)．

　　Two：you will experience a painful sharpening from time to time when you go through various(各种的)problems in life, but this will make you a stronger person．

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

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

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

　　Allow the parable(寓言)of the pencil to help you understand that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose which you were born to accomplish(完成)．
