Tame you temper

 

Friends, each of us in our lives passes through turbulent times and bad patches of life. Driven by adverse circumstances around us most of the time we loose our temper knowing well that it would do no good to us. Most of us do not have control on our bad tempers. But have we ever imagined how dangerous these bad tempers are? They are as deadly as any  disease. But solution to bad temper lies within us. We must learn to be calm and composed even if things in lives not going our ways. We must now allow ourselves to fall in the deadly trap of tempers, else we will be ruining our own lives.

 Here I am citing you story of 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 days passed and the 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.
