The Hidden Mystery Behind Printed Pens

None of us should tell, I wish I knew the secrets of pen twenty years ago.

All of us are interested in mysteries. For some, it is like a one-time affair and they come across wonders and show their awe. They are people doing normal lives and have some interest in mysteries especially when others introduced them. 

The search for mystery

We can also find people who are after mysteries and spent most of their time searching for hidden things behind anything. They go to forts and see any hidden mystery behind certain architecture or they seek the courtrooms for manuscripts written in a coded language known only to the king. Such things are certainly awe-inspiring inviting horripilation where they derive immense satisfaction about their findings and trumpet their discoveries to the whole world. In today’s context, they scribble down notes with their custom printed pens and later develop the full document.

How a pen is special to us? You need to know kings of the yore chronicled important events, messages in sheets made of tree barks before the invention of the printing press. On those days, scribes had much importance in writing important command or messages in rolls made of sheepskin or leather and people living today see it as a mystery. 

A risky journey

We tend to feel there is something mysterious in the manuscripts where the king kept his secret weapons for war in a hidden storehouse and the only ones who know about the secret are the king himself, then the commander and the scribe who has the route map of the secret tunnel leading to the storehouse. 

The scribe who used a pen might have died in that process as the king doesn’t want that secret to be known to others and even the death of the scribe will be a mystery as no one knows how the scribe disappeared and for what reasons. 

One who looks at the frightful events like this will wonder at the hidden mystery of pen that was used by the scribe to draw the route map of the secret place without knowing it was going to be his last endeavour to excel in his profession before his disappearance. 

Kings and pens

As centuries passed kings began to use printed pens often made of gold and communicated with neighbouring countries for any diplomatic or trade mission. The reason to emphasise this is to understand that with pen men made history, created trade and today also markets rise and fall due to pen and few senses this hidden mystery.

We have also come across instances where the lovers inscribe an important message to their partner before leaving this world. We don’t have any proof like what Mark Antony wrote to his beloved queen Cleopatra before he met his defeat at the hands of Augustus Caesar. But one may feel the proud king of the second triumvirate Mark Antony leave this world without writing a will or a message to his darling queen of Alexandria. What a mystery!

And what pen he might have used for the same is a mystery. But one thing is sure, any important person will leave a message to the heir or his trusted lieutenant. If that happens today, we use promotional printed pens leaving a to-do list to our deputies so that our last wish will be fulfilled.

Pen and treasure

Pens invoke mystery. We can see this in Alexander Dumas’ Count of Monte Cristo where the priest Abbe Farias had hidden wisdom due to his extensive reading that enabled him to write his philosophy as well as his compilation of information on the treasure hidden in Monte Cristo island. 

He made a pen from fish bones and the ink a mix of wine and some other substance which he got in the prison with which he wrote several inscriptions including the will. He was in prison but had the hope of being released one day and will lead a comfortable life with the help of the treasure. He hadn’t used printed pens Australia as we use today, but the pen he used had a mystery and we may not have that creative intelligence to make one such and make documents. 

The point of the matter here is pen per se is a mystery and one can make or mar the world with pens. Often, we underestimate the role of pen and consider it as a mere corporate promotional item and won’t use it effectively. 

Pen and success

To understand this more carefully we need to create certain instances. For example, most of us undergo depression and few are exceptions to that. In the case of a successful person who was highly meritorious in achieving all in his or her prime with sheer intelligence or project management skills. That does not mean that adverse winds will not blow against such ones. There are instances like coronavirus that can catch one unawares and at that time one may not have the willpower to fight adverse economic situation and this can lead many to abruptly end their lives.

We have seen a worst-case scenario. We all need to understand that success is temporary and one has to see rise and fall in our careers but many don’t mention their earlier failures, as a result, we see successes as great. But those who undergone failure after failure, they write the causes of it, and try again, probably meet failure, noting down the lessons in the second attempt only to try for the third time and script success.

Pen and motivation

Our memories often fail us and career driven ones need to take down important cues or lessons of failures or success as reminders. Most of us are lazy enough to open the laptop and type important everyday lessons in our lives. But most of us find it easy to note down important tips in pads to see it again and exercise caution. Ensure your pen and pad is always near you.

Businesses can take a cue from the hidden mysteries of the pen. That is why they need to promote pens are important corporate gift items to your target audience. When you simply give a pen, people won’t recognize the importance of it. On the contrary, when you tell all the mysteries mentioned here, people will thank you not just for the pen but for the motivational ideas also. Go for it.
