Anger Management

A simple story to tell what anger does to you and to others; shrug if you have to by saying that you don't care when it comes to expressing what is 'right.' Well, you thought so. Read on and see for yourself why they say, anger is next to stupidity.

Here's how the story goes:

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that everytime 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.

By anger, I certainly don't mean that you stop protesting and go passive when you see something going wrong or unjust. But, the story certainly tells you to choose words with tact. Be a little sensitive to the one being addressed or else they won't go about beating drums about managing Emotional Quotient in the corporate world. Well, I am no anger management Guru or a pro, giving advice on eclectic subjects; but what I do know is that we all regret at some point when we lose it, isn't it? So, why not reflect back a little and see what lessons we can draw to stop ourselves before we lose control? A lilttle tact and wisdom is all that we should look before we go hammering nails in heart.

A waking life!

"There are many things in life that will catch your eye but only a few will catch your heart pursue those."

Let fresh air come in through your soul window and nourish your mind. Dream if you will; but let not intellect always take over and ruin your heart.
