Hi everybody >>>
I hope you learn good from this story>>>>
There was a boy who was always losing his
temper. His father gave him a bag full of nails and said to him, “My
son, I want you to hammer a nail into our garden fence every time you
need to direct your anger against something and you lose your temper.”
So the son started to follow his father’s
advice. On the first day he hammered in 37 nails, but getting the nails
into the fence was not easy, so he started trying to control himself
when he got . As the days went by, he was hammering in less nails, and
within weeks he was able to control himself and was able to refrain
from getting and from hammering nails. He came to his father and told
him what he had achieved. His father was with his efforts and said to
him: “But now, my son, you have to take out a nail for every day that
you do not get .”
The son started to take out the nails for each day that he did not get , until there were no nails left in the fence.
He came to his father and told him what he had
achieved. His father took him to the fence and said, “My son, you have
done well, but look at these holes in the fence. This fence will never
be the same again.” Then he added: “When you say things in a state of
anger, they leave marks like these holes on the hearts of others. You
can stab a person and withdraw the knife but it doesn’t matter how many
times you say ‘I’m sorry,’ because the wound will remain
