Imagination is more important than knowledge.
---- Albert Einstein
I am a pencil. Before I am put into the box, my father tells me there are five things I should always remember and never forget. If I keep them in mind and put them into practice, I can become the best pencil if I can be.
One : I will be able to do many great things, but only if I allow myself to be held in someone’s hand .
Two: I will experience a painful ( 疼 痛的 ) sharpening ( 使 变 锋 利 ) from time to time, but I’ll need it to become a better pencil.
Three: I will be able to correct any mistake I might make.
Four: The most important part of me will always be what’s inside.
And five: On every surface (表面) I am used on , I must leave my mark. No matter what the condition is , I must continue to write.
I understand and promise to remember. Then I go into the box with purpose in my heart and start my journey.
