Nails In The Fence
February 10, 2009
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
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. But it won’t matter how many times you say ‘I’m Sorry’, the
wound will still be there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
Remember that family and friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make
you smile and ecourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share
words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us.”
