every time he loses his patience and/or has an argument with someone.

The first day the boy drives 37 nails in the garden fence.In the following weeks, the boy learns to control himself and the number of nails

driven in the fence gets lower every day:The boy discovers that it is easier to learn to control himself than to hammer nails in

the fence.

It will never be the same.When you have an argument with someone and tell him bad words,

you leave him with wounds like these ones.

You can stab a man and then take the knife out,but you will always leave a wound.

It does not matter how many times you say sorry, the wound will stay.A wound caused by words hurts just as bad as a physical wound.

Friends are rare jewels, they make you smile and support you.They are ready to listen to you whenever you need it,they are behind you and they open their heart to you.

Show to your friends how much you love them.
