2Once upon a time there was a boy with a very
difficult character. His father gives him a bag
full of nails and tells him to drive one nail in
the garden fence every time he loses his patience
and/or has an argument with someone.
3The 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.
4At last, the day comes when the boy does not
drive any nail in the garden fence. Then he goes
to his father and tells him that today he did
not need to hammer any nail.
5His father then tells the boy to take out one
nail from the fence for every day he succeeds
in controlling his temper and not loosing his
patience. Many days pass and finally the boy can
tell his father that he took out all nails from
the fence.
6The father brings his son in front of the fence
and tells him My son, you behaved well, but
look how many holes you left in the fence
7It 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.
8You 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.
9Send this letter to all of those whom you
consider your friends, even if this means to send
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
(Alessandro Manzoni)
11A 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 say to
yourself I will send it later It may be that
you will never send it. This Tantra comes from
the North of India.
12Whether you are superstitious or not, read these
little thoughts, they may be useful in life
13Give people more than they expect
14When you say I love you", mean it...
15 when you say I am sorrry", look into the eyes
of that person
16Do not ever make fun of other peoples dreams,
love deeply and with passion. You may get hurt,
but it is the only way to live your life to the
full.
17Do not offend and judge other people according
to how their relatives behave
18Speak slowly, but think quickly.
19If someone ask you a question that you do not
want to answer, smile and ask him why do you
want to know?'
20Remember that the greatest love and the greatest
success involve the greater risks.
21When you loose, do not miss the lesson,
22- Remember the three "Rs"
- - Respect yourself
- Respect others -
- Responsability for all your actions.
23Do not let a small misunderstanding ruin a great
friendship when you realise you made a
mistake, correct it immediately.
24 Smile when you answer the phone, who
calls will be able to hear it in your voice.
25Read between the lines
26Remember that sometimes not getting what you
want may be quite fortunate.
