Hey guys,Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence. (Most importantly the last sentence)There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gavehim 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 nextfew weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nailshammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier tohold 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 toldhis father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull outone nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The dayspassed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that allthe 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."It's National Friendship Week.
