Once there
was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told
him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few
weeks as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily,
gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to
drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose
his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that
the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all
the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the
fence. He said “you have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence.
The fence
will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just
like this
one.” You
can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you
say I’m
sorry, the
wound is still there. Make sure you control your temper the next time
you are
tempted to say something you will regret later.
Enjoy the
day with decreasing anger :)
Stay Kool & Happy
