TEMPER CONTROL
We all at one point or the other had been angry, maybe because of what someone did to us or even because of what we did and am sure we all know what anger is, and we've all felt it: whether as a fleeting annoyance or as full- fledged rage.
Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion. This little story is meant to help you understand and control anger.
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 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 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.”
NOTE:
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.
ALWAYS KEEP UR WORDS SOFT & SWEET..
