One day his father gave him a bag of nails and said that whenever the boy lost his temper should hammer a nail into the wall.
On the first day, the boy hammered 37 nails into the wall.
The boy gradually began to control his temper over the next few weeks and the number of nails slowly decreased.
He discovered it was easier to control his temper rather than hammering those nails into the wall.
Finally, that day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.
He broke the news for his father and the father suggested him
"now you should pull out the nails when you feel happy".
The days passed and the boy was finally able to tell his father all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the wall and said; " My son you have done well but look at the holes in it. The wall will never be the same as before.
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) because the scar is still there.
So control your anger and don't say things to the people in the heat of the moment."
Don't promise when you are happy. Don't decide when you are sad and don't reply when you are angry.
That may later you regret.
Somethings are in life that you are unable to take them back or recover.
Like a bullet after it's shoot, a chance after it's missed, trust after it's lost,
time after it's gone, and a word after it's said.
At least once think before you want to speak.
Genius thinks before he speaks and idiot thinks after he spoke.
Everyone has such type of people in their life who end their mistake by apologizing and something like sorry.
Though they can say SORRY but you cannot change the STORY.
When a kid grows up pencil is replaced by pen and the only and only logic behind this just to make him realize now it is too difficult to clear a mistake.so bear in mind before you want to open your mouth open your mind.
