Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.
 (Most importantly the last sentence)

 There once was a little boy who had a bad temper .

His Father gave him a bag of nailsnand 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 very rare jewels, 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.'   Show your friends how much you care.

YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED!

 Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole in your fence.
