A very hyperactive boy was creating troubles to everyone around him. Beside that he had very bad temper. After years his father was finally able to convince him to change. Father gave him box full of nails saying: -Every time you feel angry and you feel like losing control over yourself stick one nail into our fence. On first day boy knocked 37 nails. Over the next few months he was gradually learning how to control his anger and the number of nails was reducing. Boy discovered that it's easier to control anger than to stick nails in fence. Finally a day came when he didnt stick even a single nail into the fence. He went to father and said: -i didnt feel angry whole day! Father replied: -For every day that you are able to control your anger pull out one of the nails from the fence. Days were passing by and one day boy came to father saying there is no more nails left in fence to pull out. Father held his hand and took him to fence. He said: -well done son! But take a look at all these holes in the fence! This fence will never be the same. Similarly when you say some words in anger those words leave a scar. You can stab a person and no matter how many times you say sorry wound is still there! Verbal wound is same as physical! It takes even more time to heal nicely.

Holes stay for ever....
