Work place Lessons from office stationary-1


Pencil, Eraser and Sharpener


Every object we see in our day to day life communicates some message; these objects are output of someone’s creativity and they have been developed for helping the mankind in one way or other.


Based on this thought and inspiration from one of the writings “lessons from my room” I have penned down my thoughts under the title “Lessons from the office stationary”. This will be 8 part series which will help you to understand how to face the workplace and life as a whole.
Pencil, Eraser and Sharpener was an integral part of our childhood. We lived with it every day and every time we bought a new one, we were excited to use it.


Since we were engrossed in Class works and home works, we couldn’t appreciate the philosophy behind it.


Pencil represents our performance, eraser represents our ability to correct our mistakes and sharpener represents our ability to hone our performance by constantly upgrading our skills and knowledge.


Remember next time when you see a pencil, reflect upon your performance.


When you see an eraser ask for yourself how many mistakes have you corrected how much feedback you took from others?


Final word, be sharp like a sharpener and keep sharpening yourself to constantly upgrade and face the dynamic world around you.
