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. Friends are very rare jewels,
indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an
ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts
to us."
