Temper control !


Welcome to 70th Monday Musings:



Once upon a time there was a little boy who was talented, creative, handsome, and extremely bright, but he 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 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 when 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 sameWhen 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.

Make sure you control your temper the next time you are tempted to say something you will regret later.


Moral of the story :

Everyone has two wolves fighting within heart. One is the vengeful, angry, violent oneThe other wolf is the loving, compassionate one.

Now which wolf will win the fight in your heart?

The one you will feed…

Remember: Anger is one letter short of Danger, Moreover for every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.







Make it a great Week !
