2. Once upon a time there was a boy with a very difficult character . His father gave him a bag full of nails and told him to drive one nail into the garden fence every time he loses his patience and/or has an argument with someone.
3. The first day the boy drove 37 nails in the garden fence . In the following weeks, the boy learns to control himself and the number of nails driven into 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.
4. At last, the day comes when the boy does not drive any nails into the garden fence. Then he goes to his father and tell s him that today he did not need to hammer any nails.
5. His father then tells the boy to take one nail out from the fence for every day he succeeds in controlling his temper and not losing his patience. Many days pass and finally the boy can tell his father that he Has taken all nails out of the fence.
6. The father talks to his son in front of the fence and tells him: « My son, you have behaved well, but look how many holes you have left in the fence »
7. It will never be the same. When you have an argument with someone and abuse them, you leave them with wounds like these ones in the fence.
8. 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 scars 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 support you and they open their heart to you. Show to your friends how much you love them.
9. Send this letter to all of those whom you consider your friends, even if this means sending it back to the person who send it to you. If this message is sent back to you that means that you are part of a group of friends.
10. Last: « A good thing about friendship is to know with whom to confide a secret »
11. A few lines to meditate... If you receive this message it is because someone cares about you and you too have someone you care about . If you are too busy to send it to someone and think: I will send it later… It may be that you will never send it. This Mantra comes from the North of India.
