Translation Comparison
Quote by Paulo Coelho
English (Source)
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.
