NAILS IN THE WALL
Make sure you read all the way down to the
last sentence.
(Most importantly the last sentence)
There once 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 wall.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into
the wall.
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 wall.
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 wall.
He said, 'You have done well, my son, but look
at the holes in the wall.
The wall will never be the same. When you say
things in anger, they leave a scar just like this
one.
Once you hurt ur loved ones It won't matter
how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound
will still be there.
A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
Remember that 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. Show your friends how much you care.
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND,
even if it means sending it back to the person
who sent it to you! If it comes back to you, you
will then know you have a circle of friends.
YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED!
Now send this t o every friend you have!! And
to your family(they need to know that you love
them too)
Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole in
your life
