Pencil or Pen?

Were you born with pencil or pen on your hand? It's not literally you held it when your mother was giving birth to you. It's basically you have a passion in writing. Of course, drawing can be included as well. Learn what pencil and pen are worth to us. But how they can be useful to us?

Pencil is commonly used by students in elementary level (students from grade 1 to 3). Pencil is not just for children because artists who fond of drawing, use them a lot. They are good in sketching and visualizing what they think and draw them on their drawing pad. Besides, it's for those who want less or no mistakes at all, be it on their test exams or assignments. It's hard to use pen when you draw. And if you made mistakes, you need an extra helper to erase your mistakes. That's where liquid paper, touch n' go, magic touch (or whatever you called it - a white liquid corrector) comes in. You paint a white liquid on the area where your wrong words are and then after few seconds, you can write on it again. On the other hand, if you used pencil and made mistake, just use built-in eraser on top of it. Eraser is used to erase your handwritten mistakes. So use it often.

Pen is the updated version of pencil. I started using it when I was in grade 4. My teacher required us to use it (to make ourselves get used to it). It's difficult to use it in drawing but pencil is not good in signing a document as well. Pen comes in variety of colors: red, blue and the commonly used 'black'. Some artists are capable of using it on the spot. For best results, they use pencil first before pen. Writers as well as authors use pen in writing their novel, masterpiece and manuscript aside from computers. They have it together with notebook to write their ideas and thoughts instantly. You should have one if you plan to apply for new job or if it is your first time in real world. The employer will be impressed if they see you always prepared. I had a teacher before (in college) who required us to have a set of all colors of pen (red, blue and green) except for black. The reason is he didn't want his class to fall asleep while he is teaching. Since black is common and (according to him) can cause our eyes to gradually close. Anyway, pen as the Philippine National Hero quoted is mightier than sword. Do you agree?

I use both up to now. I use pencil whenever I have something to write on a piece of paper such as writing poems and composing songs. The reason is I don't want to throw away the used papers coz I can make use of it again. How? By rubbing the eraser on the area where wrong words are. Pen has many places in this world esp. in corporate companies. You won't find any single people presenting their documents that use pencil as their primary tool.

I hope you enjoy reading this article. :)
