To all who think they are short tempered plz read the story
NAIL IN THE FENCE
Once 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 not 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."
...............i used to be very aggressive, short-tempered, arrogant.... and people used always label all adjectives like those above... but they never told me ... what actually i am doing wrong and how it is affecting me and others.... and because of my attitude i lost so many people worth loving... i regret it now.... but once my Brother told this story and made me realise that anger can destroy love... and love so precious to loose... and i am thankful to Dada that he told me this story...
Today i want say sorry to each and every one...whom i have hurt in past... i know that wound cannot be healed so easily ...but my sincere sorry may take some pain away from it...
