It teaches a great Lesson and I hope you read and enjoy
There was a boy who was always losing his temper.
His father gave him a bag full of nails and said to him,
“My son, I want you to hammer a nail into our garden fence every
time you need to direct your anger against something and
you lose your temper.”
So the son started to follow his father’s advice. On the first day
he hammered in 37 nails, but getting the nails into the fence
was not easy, so he started trying to control himself and try not to lose his temper.
As the days went by, he was hammering in less nails, and within
weeks he was able to control himself and was able to refrain from
getting and from hammering nails. He came to his father and told him
what he had achieved. His father was with his efforts and said to
him: “But now, my son, you have to take out a nail for
every day that you do not get angry.”
The son started to take out the nails for each day that he
did not get angry, until there were no nails left in the fence.
He came to his father and told him what he had achieved.
His father took him to the fence and said, “My son, you have
done well, but look at these holes in the fence. This fence
will never be the same again.” Then he added: “When you say
things in a state of anger, they leave marks like these holes
on the hearts of others. You can stab a person and withdraw the knife
but it doesn’t matter how many times you say ‘I’m sorry,’ because
the wound will remain.
والان مع القصة ولكن باللغة العربية .
كان هناك ولد عصبي وكان يفقد صوابه بشكل مستمر فأحضر له والده كيساً مملوءاً بالمسامير وقال له :
يا بني أريدك أن تدق مسماراً في سياج حديقتنا الخشبي كلما اجتاحتك موجة غضب وفقدت أعصابك .
وهكذا بدأ الولد بتنفيذ نصيحة والده ....
فدق في اليوم الأول 37 مسماراً ، ولكن إدخال المسمار في السياج لم يكن سهلاً .
فبدأ يحاول تمالك نفسه عند الغضب ، وبعدها وبعد مرور أيام كان يدق مسامير أقل ، وفي أسابيع تمكن
من ضبط نفسه ، وتوقف عن الغضب وعن دق المسامير ، فجاء والده وأخبره بإنجازه ففرح الأب بهذا التحول ،
وقال له : ولكن عليك الآن يا بني استخراج مسمار لكل يوم يمر عليك لم تغضب فيه .
وبدأ الولد من جديد بخلع المسامير في اليوم الذي لا يغضب فيه حتى انتهى من المسامير في السياج .
فجاء إلى والده وأخبره بإنجازه مرة أخرى ، فأخذه والده إلى السياج وقال له : يا بني أحسنت صنعاً ، ولكن
انظر الآن إلى تلك الثقوب في السياج ، هذا السياج لن يكون كما كان أبداً ، وأضاف :
عندما تقول أشياء في حالة الغضب فإنها تترك آثاراً مثل هذه الثقوب في نفوس الآخرين .
تستطيع أن تطعن الإنسان وتُخرج السكين ولكن لا يهم كم مرة تقول : أنا آسف لأن الجرح سيظل هناك ..
