It teaches a great Lesson and I hope you read and enjoy

There
was a boy who was always losing his temper. His father gave him a bag full of
nails and said to him, “My son, I want you to hammer a nail into our garden
fence every time you need to direct your anger against something and you lose
your temper.”

So the son started to follow his father’s advice. On the
first day he hammered in 37 nails, but getting the nails into the fence was not
easy, so he started trying to control himself when he got . As the days went by,
he was hammering in less nails, and within weeks he was able to control himself
and was able to refrain from getting and from hammering nails. He came to his
father and told him what he had achieved. His father was with his efforts and
said to him: “But now, my son, you have to take out a nail for every day that
you do not get .”

The son started to take out the nails for each day that
he did not get , until there were no nails left in the fence.

He came to
his father and told him what he had achieved. His father took him to the fence
and said, “My son, you have done well, but look at these holes in the fence.
This fence will never be the same again.” Then he added: “When you say things in
a state of anger, they leave marks like these holes on the hearts of others. You
can stab a person and withdraw the knife but it doesn’t matter how many times
you say ‘I’m sorry,’ because the wound will remain
