Lessons from the pencil!

Updated: Oct 30, 2022


circa 1953

I may not have been the sharpest tool in the box . . . but I was in the box! That's me,

front and center in my church Sunday School Class.

Always be willing to learn; then learn from the wisest and the best!


Whether it's church, work, or family life, be present. That's what it takes. You can't phone in success.


When I started in the apparel business, I didn't know anything about it. My lines weren't exactly the latest and greatest. But I hung in there with enthusiasm, working very hard

and was a sponge when I was around the "pros" in the business.

Adjust your vision, but stay in the game.

The best way to sharpen your skills is to use them!


Three lessons to learn from a pencil:

Pain always sharpens you

Everything you do leaves a mark

It's what's inside you that is valuable!


Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he

will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
