It all depends on how you look at things. There are five virtues that if you manage to keep in yourself, you will always be at peace with the world. The first virtue: you can accomplish great things, but never forget that there is a Hand that guides your steps. We call this hand God, and it will always guide you towards His will. The second virtue: sometimes I have to stop writing for a while to sharpen the pencil. This causes the pencil to suffer, but it ends up being sharper. There is pain that you have to be able to bear because it makes you a better person. The third virtue: the pencil always lets us erase what it messed up. He understands that correcting something we did wrong is not necessarily bad - on the contrary: it is important because it keeps us on the path of truth. Fourth virtue: the essence of a pencil is not its wood or its external shape, but the graphite inside. Therefore, always take care of what is happening inside you. Finally, the fifth virtue of the pencil: it always leaves a mark. Know that in life you leave a mark on your actions in the same way, and act with this in mind.

"Minden attól függ, hogyan nézed a dolgokat. Van öt olyan erény, amit ha sikerül megőrizned magadban, mindig békében leszel a világgal. Az első erény: nagy dolgokat vihetsz véghez, de soha ne feledd, hogy van egy Kéz, amely vezeti a lépteidet. Ezt a kezet mi Istennek hívjuk, és mindig az Ő akarata felé fog téged vezetni. A második erény: néha egy kicsit abba kell hagynom az írást, hogy kihegyezzem a ceruzát. A ceruzának ez szenvedést okoz, de a végén hegyesebb lesz. Van olyan fájdalom, amit el kell tudnod viselni, mert jobb ember leszel tőle. A harmadik erény: a ceruza mindig hagyja, hogy kiradírozzuk azt, amit elrontott. Megérti, hogy ha kijavítunk valamit, amit rosszul csináltunk, az nem szükségszerűen rossz - épp ellenkezőleg: fontos, mert az igazság útján tart minket. Negyedik erény: a ceruzában nem a fája vagy a külső formája a lényeg, hanem a grafit, ami benne van. Ezért mindig törődj azzal, ami a bensődben történik. Végül a ceruza ötödik erénye: mindig nyomot hagy maga után. Tudd meg, hogy az életben te is ugyanígy nyomot hagysz a tetteid után, és ennek tudatában cselekedj."
