This is a story which I find it's worth sharing...
It's from a Professor from a talk show.
Once, there was a boy who was extremely mischievous with horrifying bad temper. Everyone in the family could not hold the boy down, neither will he listens. One day, his father decided to find a way to talk to him...
The father said: " Boy, if anytime you flare your temple, knock a nail into the plank of wood that's on the wall." To take this challenge, the boy agreed. So, everyday, many times a day, he would hit one nail onto the wood once he raised his voice and threw his temple. Days went by...and weeks passed. One fine day, his dad came to him and said: "Boy, did you see how many nails are already on the wood?" To his surprise, it was filled and countless...
So his dad said to him again: " If only you can control your temple, you can remove the nails from the wood one after another?" The boy said with arrogance: "Why not, I will take the challenge." First day, it was real tough...he tried and finally...he managed to pull only one nail out from the wood. Soon after, from one nail to many nails a day, he learned and well enough, he finally managed to control his temple.
Weeks passed. The dad came forward and saw all nails were gone. He told his son: "Now, all nails are gone and I believed you've learned but...can you see what's left on the wood now?" It's full of holes. That's to say, once you raised your voice and throw your temple at someone, even though the matter is over, sadly you've caused hurt and scars behind.
We can't collect back the hurt that has been caused. And, there's no medicine to regrets. So, please...don't hurt anyone.
What's the moral of this story?
We hear, listen and learned from others' experiences. We do not want to live with regrets, so learned to love especially your love ones.
As parent, they love their children and no matter how their children hurt them, they take it. As children, do you do the same too? For all to know, you will become a parent one day or already a parent now. This applies to siblings too...love and care for our brothers and sisters. DO NOT HURT. A simple caring gesture eased everything. Do you or have you been doing anything?
Sometimes, we hurt the people closest to you but...you never get to realise (or even if you know, you might be too prideful to give-in? How much is your pride?). And once you do, it might be too late to regret. It might be gone.
There's a saying...There's no Medicine to Regrets!!!
