The document shares a story about a pencil maker speaking to a pencil before sending it out into the world. The pencil maker tells the pencil five important things to remember: 1) It will be able to do great things if it allows itself to be held and used by others. 2) It will experience sharpenings that are necessary for improvement. 3) It can correct mistakes. 4) The most important part is what's inside. 5) It must continue writing no matter the situation. The pencil promises to remember and goes into the world understanding its purpose.
