Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hug's Jan xox An oldie but still worth the read There once was a little boy who had 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. The first day the boy had Driven 37 nails into the fence Over the next Few weeks, as he learned to control 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. Thanks artsjazzspot Each life experience makes you stronger, More knowledgeable and more prepared for What lies ahead. Though it may not seem like it at the time, The setbacks and hardships you face actually Help you march forward. Don't isolate yourself from life experiences. They instruct you and guide you into your Future. Learn from your experiences. They Are the best teacher anyone could ask for. The obstacles are almost never as big or imposing as you first imagine them to be. The moment you start to work past each one, it begins to diminish in size. As long as you're merely contemplating them, challenges can take on seemingly infinite and insurmountable proportions. As soon as you begin to work on them, those same challenges suddenly become more manageable. Simply by taking the first step to solve a problem, you can dramatically change the nature of that problem. You transform it from a force that is holding you back into a path that can move you forward. As you continue to work your way through the problem, you continue to change its negative influence into positive value. It increasingly becomes an opportunity for you to make a positive difference. The way to cut a big problem down to size is to get busy working through it. Each step you take brings you closer to the point where you are completely beyond the difficult challenge. The biggest problems can often lead to the most valuable opportunities. And your effort is what will make that happen.
