NAIL IN THE FENCE

 

There 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 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 face, he said, “Yu 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 s still there.”

So, O! Pakistani Youth! now you’ve the idea how to control your temper to increase your productivity. That’s all I need to say today… And one more thing…. Just read the following!

 

Moral:  A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
