Translation:

nail

There was a boy with 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. On the first day, the boy hammered 37 nails. Slowly, the number of nails driven each day decreased, and he found it easier to control his temper than to drive those nails. Then, one day, the boy no longer lost his patience and lost his temper. He told his father about it. The father added that from now on, whenever he could control his temper, he would pull out a nail. Days passed, and finally the boy told his father that he had finally pulled out all the nails.

The father held his hand, came to the backyard and said, "You did a great job, my good boy, but look at the holes in those fences. These fences will never be the same again. .

The words you say when you're angry are like these nails that leave scars. If you stab someone with a knife, no matter how many times you say you're sorry, the wound will always be there. The pain of words is as overwhelming as the pain of reality. ”

Some unresolved stalemates often cause permanent harm between people. If we can all start from ourselves and start to treat others with tolerance, I believe you will receive a lot of appreciation. Unexpected results. Opening a window for others means allowing yourself to see a more complete sky.
