Inspiration
There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag
of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a
nail
in the back fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the
fence.
Then it 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 a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and
encourage
you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they
always want to open their hearts to us. Show your friends how much
you care.
Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been
hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
