NAIL IN THE FENCE

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 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."  It' s National Friendship Week. Show your  friends how much you care. YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED!  

Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole.

P/s love all my fwens ....
