Fwd: Friends....

[Guest guest]

Wise Words:

 

Their 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 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. 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.

 

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP WEEK TO YOU!
