There once was a little girl who had a bad temper. Her mother gave

her a bag of nails and told her that every time she lost her temper,

she must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the

girl had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as

she learned to control her anger, the number of nails hammered daily

gradually dwindled down. She discovered it was easier to hold her

temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came

when the girl didn't lose her temper at all. She told her mother

about it and the mother suggested that the girl now pull out one nail

for each day that she was able to hold her temper. The day passed and

the young girl was finally able to tell her mother that all the nails

were gone.

The mother took her daughter by the hand and led her to the fence.

She said, "You have done well,my daughter, 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 person 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.

Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole in your fence!!

true to life story,
if we can visualize the holes that we are making in our relationships,
it helps in avoiding them
its is very good depiction of how anger can spoil our life and relationships
Good one
