The erasers around you.
Ever notice a pencil and its eraser working together? It’s a simple pair, but it says a lot about how we grow.
The pencil is you—full of potential, making your mark on the page. The eraser is the people around you: friends, family, teachers, mentors. They help you fix mistakes and try again.
Over time, the eraser wears down. That’s not a sign of failure—it’s proof of all the times it helped you learn. The people who support you may not always be visible, but their influence stays with you.

So go ahead: make mistakes. Learn from them. And appreciate those who help you erase the missteps and start fresh. Every line you draw—even the ones you change—adds to the story you’re creating.
That’s how masterpieces are made.
I’ll be back with more next week.
Stay tuned.
