NAILS
IN THE FENCE
|
|
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 scars just like these.
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
family that truly loves you is a priceless jewel indeed!
Although a diamond is extremely durable, you treat it with
respect like the precious jewel that it is. In it's
natural form, the diamond is just an ugly rock. But
with care becomes a brilliant gem. You are only given
one natural family. Don't abuse it!"
