Part of my prayer

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.His parents tried to correct this temper of his and failed.So they were really worried.THe boy was brainny nad loving but for this bad quality he was a gem of a boy.THen one day his father got a brilliant idea.He called his son and 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 47 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 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 wound 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
and they always want to open their hearts to us."
Show your friends how much you care. Ask all your friends to read this.Being a busy teacher and doctor I come across so many incidents which could make me loose my temper so I always begin my day with a prayer that I should never hurt anybody(by words or deeds) and I renew the promise every day I make to myself and God helps me keep it.
