Nail In The Fence

There was once a little boy who had a bad temper.His father gave him a bag of nail 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 in daily dwindled.
He discovered it was easier to control his temper than to hammer 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.

Days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails has been pulled out.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 drew 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.Friends are very rare jewels,indeed,they make you smile and encourage you to succeed.They lend an ear,they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us". So do not hurt people and then regret for life. The relationship may not be the same again.

The photo is the Pulitzer Prize winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine. The picture shows a famine stricken crawling towards a UN food camp located a kilometer away. The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken. Three months later he commited suicide due to depression.

1 of my friend send a e-mail to me with this picture and saying not to waste food that we have because people in the other part of the world do not have food to eat. This picture actually make quite a big impact in me and the way we should treasure food that we have instead of throwing it away.

Looking at this picture many things actually came to my mind like donating money to needy countries and oversea community involvement program where you can build school or hospital for those people. Perharps adopt a little kid and allow him or her to have a proper educcation and be like kid in the other world have a good childhood.

I think I sound very holy...Just kidding. But if I really have that amount of money I'll go and adopt a kid and pay for his or her education fee. Most likelly also join Red Cross as a volunteer just like what Jia Hao is doing now.

Smile an everlasting smile
A smile could bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
'Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost it's glory
Let's start a brand new story
Now my love right now there'll be
No other time and I can show you
How my love
Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away
