Pencil?

Hello! Annyeong Haseyo! Konnichiwa! Sawadeekha! Halo! *sorry of there is any misspelling there*

It have been such a long time since I write a philosophy. Don't worry, this won't be boring, maybe. Anyway, let's just start.

Today, we're going to actually find a philosophy of this little thing here:



I guess you all know what that is, right? I'm sorry if there is any non-Moeslem here that reads this. Please translate it into your own version of religion :) I'm going to tell a little story, a fictional one. If there is anyone asks, "is this real?" I'm going to say, "NO." But fear not, readers, the philosophy is purely common in our neighborhood. Now, let's just read the little story :) ENJOY!

Once, there were two girls that are talking about their exam. One of them feel sad because she couldn't answer a lot of questions on her exam. The other girl sat next to her.

"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I'm not so confident about my exam just now. I made a lot of mistakes. Maybe I'm not a smart and bright person," the girl said to her friend. Her friend smiled.
"Hey, cheer up. If that's the case, then it must have been the best that Allah wants you to have. Now, look at here," she said. She took a long pencil that haven't been sharpened.
"You can call this pencil as yourself. If this pencil is you and the sharpener is the world, then you can be small in no time if you sharped it every one second. But, if you wait and sharped the pencil little by little, it will stay until 3 years or so. The world isn't that long you know, but if you always think that you are nothing, then you will be nothing in just a split of time. As you think yourself as someone important, as simple as acknowledge it for yourself, you will bear with every situation and will last longer in life with the happiness you have."
"What is that supposed to do with me?"
"If you think negatively, you will tend to sharpen the pencil more seldom than it should. You break easily, and then sharpen yourself again and again. But if you take it with ease, with love, with peace, you will eventually be more careful, be more positive, and will need a much longer time to have the urge of sharpening the pencil. So, cheer up!" Said the girl with a wide smile.

As the class is dismissed, the girl looked at her own pencil and smiled. Yes, take it with patience and you will surely see what the world truly is like.
