Pencil Box to Mental Box
When we were kids, we carried a pencil,
a rough notebook, an eraser, and a sharpener—tools that helped shape who we are
today. As we grew up and became adults, we often replaced these with just a
pen, and some people no longer carry that either.
However, let's embrace the idea of
carrying a virtual pencil that symbolises our ability to learn every day and a
virtual notebook where we can jot down what we've learned. We should also take
a virtual eraser, representing our willingness to accept and correct the
mistakes we make in life. Additionally, a virtual sharpener serves as a
reminder that we must continually sharpen our skills to remain relevant in this
ever-changing world.
Although we may no longer have our
pencil boxes with us, we must remember that our minds function like a pencil, a
rough notebook, an eraser, and a sharpener that should be active and engaged
daily. In fact, our childhood pencil box should be replaced with a mental box,
where we store our Pencil, rough notebook, eraser and a sharpener.
Our
formal schooling may have ended, but our learning journey continues.
