NAILS OF ANGER

IT IS A MAIL WHICH I HAVE RECIEVED YESTERDAY ... I FELT IT  SO MEANING FULL AND JUST THOUGHT OF SHAREING IT WITH YOU ALL ... AND  ONE MORE THING FROM THE THIRD OF OCTOBER  WE ARE GONING TO HAVE OUR EXAMS SO DO PRAY FOR US  .....PLS  

 

 


There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told d him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of 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 d 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.  A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

 

And, please forgive me if I have ever left a hole.
