[Gujarati Club] Inspiration Story : Nail in the fence

 

NAIL IN THE FENCE     Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence (Most importantly the last sentence)     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 then 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 wounds 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 They always want to open their hearts to us. So, lets make circle of friends stop getting angry and stop hurting each other. enjoy the life with full of happy friends and family     Lastly, please forgive me my dear friend and family if i have ever left a hole….
