Life is a lot of things and we all have different interpretations of life as a whole. While some take life to be an ice-cream and want to enjoy it before all of it melts, the others take life as a joy ride and want to enjoy every moment it has to offer.

Once a Guruji spoke of life as a pencil and some of it seem to provoke many a thought out of life. Have a look at the pencil, what do you see?

Pencil writes with the lead inside it: It is very important to note that the lead inside the pencil is very much useful than the wood outside it. Likewise we all must be able to make our inner self sharp and useful to the world than be a hypocrite and show off our polished exterior to the people around us. The wood outside is only an insulation, not the real thing!

Pencil can make a point: We must strive to make a mark everyone’s heart with our character and attitude. A mark on every heart we come across. We came to this planet with joy on everyone’s faces, why leave the same joy when we leave? Be a better person and make everyone miss you!

Erase your mistakes: We all make mistakes don’t we? But we need to accept them and work on erasing those mistakes with humbleness. Otherwise, your life will be full of obvious glaring mistakes. Clean up the slate, write beautifully

You need a sharpener: Life cannot go on the same, at times you need to change your gears, sharpen up your armor with your experience and work on creating more marks. Sharpener makes life smooth.

Finally it needs a hand to hold it: Life has no meaning without ideals, and those ideals are taken up by you the individual. A terrorist is a human being, so is the pope. And the hand that holds the pencil decides what it will write, a romantic letter or a hate letter? So, what will you write with your pencil?
