钉子的故事

有一个男孩有著很坏的脾气，于是他的父亲就给了他一袋钉子；并且告诉他，每当他发脾气的时候就钉一根钉子在后院的围篱上。

第一天，这个男孩钉下了37根钉子。慢慢地每天钉下的数量减少了。

他发现控制自己的脾气要比钉下那些钉子来得容易些。

终於有一天这个男孩再也不会失去耐性乱发脾气，他告诉他的父亲这件事，父亲告诉他，现在开始每当他能控制自己的脾气的时候，就拔出一根钉子。

一天天地过去了，最后男孩告诉他的父亲，他终於把所有钉子都拔出来了。

父亲握著他的手来到后院说：你做得很好，我的好孩子。但是看看那些围篱上的洞，这些围篱将永远不能回复成从前。你生气的时候说的话将像这些钉子一样留下疤痕。如果你拿刀子捅别人一刀，不管你说了多少次对不起，那个伤口将永远存在。话语的伤痛就像真实的伤痛一样令人无法承受。

注：人与人之间常常因为一些彼此无法释怀的坚持，而造成永远的伤害。如果我们都能从自己做起，开始宽容地看待他人，相信你（你）一定能收到许多意想不到的结果....帮别人开启一扇窗，也就是让自己看到更完整的天空....

The Nail

There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.

Then it 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 a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. Show your friends how much you care.

篱笆上的铁钉

从前，有一个脾气很坏的男孩，他的爸爸给了他一袋钉子，告诉他，每次发脾气或跟别人吵架以后，就院的篱笆上钉一根钉子。

第一天，男孩钉了37 个钉子。以后的日子里，他慢慢学控制脾气，每天钉的钉子慢慢减少了。他发现，控制脾气实际上比钉钉子要容易的多。

有一天，一根钉子都没有了，他高兴地告诉了爸爸。

爸爸说：“从今以后，如果你一天都没有发脾气，就可以从篱笆上拔掉一根钉子。”日子一天一天过去，后来，篱笆上的钉子全部拔光了。

爸爸带他来到篱笆边，对他说：“儿子，你做得很好，可是，看看篱笆上的钉孔吧，洞永远也不可能恢复原来的样子了。就像你和一个人吵架，说了些难听的话，你就会在他心里留下一个伤口，像此钉子洞一样。”

插一把刀在一个人的身体里，拔出来后，伤口就难以愈合了。无论你怎么道歉，伤口总是存在。要明白，身体上的伤口和心灵上的伤口一样都难以恢复。

启示：

你的朋友和你的家人都是你宝贵的生命财富，他们让你更自信，让你更勇敢。他们总是随时倾听你的忧伤，你需要他们的时候，他们会支持你，向你敞开心扉。可是，有时你会说出伤害他们的话，或者作出让他们心痛的事情。不要认为他们不会介意，就像在篱笆上钉过钉子一样，伤害会留下永远的痕迹。

坏脾气是一柄双刃剑，它在伤害别人的时候，同时也伤害了自己。
