>There once was 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 day 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 a very rare
>jewel 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.
>
>It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how
>much you care.
>
>Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if
>it means sending it back to the person who sent it to you.
>
>If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a
>circle of friends.
>
>YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED!
>
>Now send this to every friend you have!! And to
>your family.
>
>This was sent to me by a friend, and is now passed on to YOU
>
>Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole in your fence,,,
