ANGER MANAGEMENT

There was a boy who had a bad temper. One day his father gave him a bag of nails and

said, “Son, every time you lose your temper, please

hammer a nail into this wooden plank”.

The next day the boy had driven 15 nails into the plank. Over the next few weeks, the number of nails he drove into the plank started decreasing.

Finally a day came when the boy didn’t drive any nail into the plank. He told his father about it. The father suggested to pull out one nail each day on which he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy finally told his father that all the nails were gone.

Interaction

The father looked at the plank and said,

“The plank will never be the same. The holes will remain.”
