Story - Temper Mangaement


There once 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 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 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. A wound on the flesh may at least fade away but the wounds left on the heart will never move on. It is always accompanying us whether by our will or not. Hence it is wise to be careful before taking an action against somebody and it is more wise before telling  bad things to somebody.

Now have you hurt anyone? If so it is time to go to them and apologize so that they can at least forgive you and try to the bad memories away...
