back of the fence

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 anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down.

He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the 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.”

homeless woman

I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.

I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, 'If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner

'No, I had to stop drinking years ago' , the homeless woman told me.

'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I asked.

'No, I don't waste time shopping,' the homeless woman said. 'I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive

'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked.

'Are you NUTS!' replied the homeless woman. I haven't had my hair done in 20 years

'Well, I said, 'I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.

The homeless Woman was shocked. 'Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.'

I said, 'That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.' 

Who put glue on my chair

Peter was eight and a half years old, and he went to a school near his house. He always went there and came home on foot, and he usually got back on time, but last Friday he came home from school late. His mother was in the kitchen, and she saw him and said to him, "Why are you late today, Peter  

"My teacher was angry and sent me to the headmaster after our lessons," Peter answered

?""To the headmaster?" his mother said. "Why did she send you to him  

"Because she asked a question in the class; Peter said, "and none of the children gave her the answer except me."

His mother was angry. "But why did the teacher send you to the headmaster then? Why didn"t she send all the other stupid children?" she asked Peter  

."Because her question was, "Who put glue on my chair?" Peter said

دوستی

Do you know what the relationship is between your two eyes?

میدونی رابطه بین دوتا چشمات توی چیه ؟

They blink together, they move together,  they cry together, They see things together and they sleep together,
  با هم پلک می زنند، با هم حرکت می کنند، با هم گریه می کنند، همه چیز رو با هم می بینند و با هم می خوابند.

But they never see each other… that's what friendship is. Life Is lonely without FRIENDS.

اما هرگز نمی تونند همدیگرو ببینند، این همان معنای دوستی است.

زندگی بدون دوست یعنی تنهایی

پیام شجریان

apologize

When you apologize it doesn't mean that you were WRONG and she/he was RIGHT, it means your relationship matters more than your pride.

عذر خواهی همیشه بدان معنا نیست که تو اشتباه کرده‌ای و حق با آن ديگري است.

گاهي عذر خواهی بدان معناست كه آن رابطه بيش از غرورت برايت ارزش دارد
