Pencil Box and Life

Pencil Box and Life

Most of us have carried a pencil box containing a pencil, eraser, sharpener, and ruler. These essential stationery items introduced us to the world of learning. Interestingly, these items are still relevant to us, but in a different way—as qualities necessary for leading a better life.

The pencil symbolizes the ability to capture learning in life, the eraser represents the ability to correct our mistakes and forgive others' mistakes, the sharpener represents the need for self-improvement, and finally, the ruler symbolizes our ability to measure our performance.

No life is free from learning, mistakes, growth, and self-evaluation.

Whenever ego gets in the way, open the pencil box within yourself and activate the learner in you.

These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position.
