Control your temper



Once there was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails & told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into 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 & the father suggested “now U pull out one nail for each day U are able to hold ur temper.

The days passed & the boy was finally able to tell father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand & led him to the fence. He said "U have done well, son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When U say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one

U can put a knife in a man & draw it out. It won't matter how many times U say I'm sorry, the wound is still there.

Make sure U control Ur temper the next time U are tempted to say something U will regret later. An intellectual once told me:

Speak when you are angry
& you will make the best speech
You will ever regret!
