Lin Nails in the Fence

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gives 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.
37 angers in a day, is it normal for you,

The first day the boy had drive 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he
How do you do this, why..??

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.

Have you ever experienced this..?? in what condition..??

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."
What kind of words do yo prefer to accept, mention one of your favorites that inspires you!

The little boy then understud how powerful his words were. He looked up at his father and

said "I hope you can forgive me father for the holes I put in you."

"Never mind, of course I can," said the father.
