Life is Like a Pencil
by. Dolvin ≈ September 22, 2008 |
There's nothing like writing with a newly sharpened pencil. It has a nice fine point, plenty of lead to work with, and what you write is very legible.
If you happen to go too long without sharpening your pencil, the lead gets dull, wide, and soon, you're rubbing wood on your paper.
So what do you do? In order to sharpen your pencil, you need to cut away the wood to expose the lead. Then you need to cut the lead in order to get it to a point. The pencil works best at it's sharpest.
There's also a trick to sharpening properly. Not everyone can do it correctly. Often people end up with broken leads and broken pencils.
Let's move to the application:
- Regular pencils need regular sharpening.
I'm talking about your basic, yellow-painted, #2 pencil. It needs to be sharpened in order for it too work properly, even from the beginning. So do you. You need to take time to sharpen your skills, sharpen your thinking, sharpen your attitude on a regular basis.
- The best sharpening occurs through cutting something away.
With a pencil, you need to cut away the wood in order to get to the lead. In our lives, sharpening isn't always about learning something new. It is much more about taking away the distractions that get in the way of what we already know to be true.
- Sharpening is only necessary when you use what you've sharpened.
You don't need to sharpen an unused pencil, unless you're going to use it. Sharpening is necessary because of use. If all you do is spend your time sharpening, then you may actually be wasting your resources.
- A sharpened pencil still has an eraser on it.
Even a perfectly sharpened pencil can make a mistake. It all depends on who's doing the writing. Just because you sharpen your skills, it doesn't mean that you're going to be perfect. All you're doing is putting yourself in a position to be the best you can be. If you make a mistake, you might simply need to flip things around and start over.
- Sharpened pencils open the door to greater creativity.
An unsharpened pencil is difficult to work with and creates more of a distraction to the process. Once a pencil is sharpened, it becomes a tool in the hands of a person and is bound only by the person's creativity. When we sharpen our lives, we open the door to greater possibilities. When we take our skills to the next level, we become aware of greater opportunities.
- Unsharpened pencils soon become dull and unusable.
Have you ever rumaged through a drawer or container of pencils, trying to find the right one? What are you looking for? You're looking for the sharpest, the one that will write the best. All the dull pencils become useless, overlooked, obsolete. Have you ever felt useless, overlooked, or obsolete?
This metaphor works with pencils, saws, knives, basically anything that requires sharpening.
It also works with people who want to remain at the top of their game and continue learning and growing and developing and remaining relevant.

Border Collie
by. Dolvin ≈ July 31, 2008 |
What is the smartest dog breed in the world? Do you know, if we have a a highly intelligent dog, it have a troublesome, coz if a highly intelligent dog is left at home alone all day, they can get bored and become destructive and/or neurotic. On the other hand, a dog with limited intelligence can be left at home all day, and not even realize you’re gone until a few minutes before you arrive home!  and the winner is.. Border CollieCountry Of Origin : Great Britain Like many intelligent breeds, the Border Collie needs a job to do. If they don’t have a purpose in life or some kind of job, they will not be happy. Border Collies should definitely not be left at home alone all day, and if they are, they can become quite destructive. They need constant companionship, praise, and extensive exercise. So if you work and live in the city, a Border Collie probably isn’t the dog for you! Because of their legendary intelligence, Border Collies set the standard in competitions for such skills as agility, obedience, and of course, sheepdog trials. The Border Collie is a truly well proportioned dog with agility and perfect balance. The coat can either be smooth or of medium length with a thick water resistant undercoat. When working, this breed will usually be seen in the crouched position, with their alert eyes fixed on the job in hand. The 'hypnotic' eye characteristic is probably more defined in the Border Collie than any other breed and it is this quality which makes them so superb in herding sheep, using their eyes to guide a herd without the need to nip or bark. It will be hard to find a breed that is more receptive to training than the Border Collie. Their intelligence is second to none and their minds are like sponges, absorbing all new tasks with an eagerness and the greatest desire to please. Because of this, these dogs are like a gift from heaven for those wanting to compete in obedience/agility/herding trials. They are born, and it is always in their natures, to herd sheep and if this is not what they are required to do, other activities must be given to keep them content and happy - and to stop them rounding up the children! hmmm.. what a handsome dog, isn't it?  |
