"Two: You will experience a painful sharpening2 from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil.

"Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

"Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside.

"And Five: On every surface you are used on, ou must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write."
