Nail in the fence

Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence. (Most importantly the last sentence.) 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 young 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. 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." Show your friends how much you care.

I want to be your boyfriend forever.11:58 Tina: (sobbing) Peter. Did you know what was the wish I made on the night there was a meteor. I asked God to let us last last forever. We were suppose to last 100 days so Peter! You can't leave me! I LOVE YOU, but can you come back to me now? I love you Peter. I LOVE YOU. As the clock struck twelve, Peter's heart stopped beating. It was 100 days. NOTE*Tell the guy or girl that you love them before its too late. You never know whats going to happen tomorrow. You never know who will be leaving you and never return

the difference between like and love.

In front of the person you like, your heart beatsfasterBut in front of the person you love, you gethappy.In front of the person you love, winter seemslikespring.But in front of the person you like, winter isjustbeautiful winter.If you look into the eyes of the one you like,youblush.But if you look into the eyes of the one youlove,you smile.In front of the person you like, you can't sayeverything on your mind.But in front of the person you love, you can.In front of the person you like, you tend to getshy.But in front of the person you love, you canshowyour own self.You can't look straight into the eyes of the oneyoulike.But you can always smile and stare into theeyesof the one you love.But when the one you like is crying, you end upcomforting.When the one you love is crying, you cry withthem.The feeling of like starts from the ear.But the feeling of love starts from the eye.So if you stop liking a person you used to like,allyou need to do is cover your ears.But if you try to close your eyes, love turnsinto adrop of tear and remains in your heart forever

There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl....This ROMANTIC GUY folded 1000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl...Although,at time he was just a small fry in his company, his future doesn't seemed too bright, they were happy together..Until one day,his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come back.She also told him that she couldn't visualize any future for both of them, so they went their own ways there and then..Heartbroken,the guy agreed.But when he regains his confidence, he worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind, just to make something out of him.Finally with all these hardwork and the help of friends, this guy had set up his own company! You never fail until you stop trying.One rainy day,while this guy was driving,he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain,walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella,they were still drenched. It didn't take him long to realize those were his girl's parents.With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the couple wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan.He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same anymore;he had his own company,car,condo, etc.He made it!Before the guy can realize,the couple was walkingtowards a cemetery,and he got out of his car and followed..and he saw his girl,a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from the tombstoneand he saw his paper cranes beside her....Her parents saw him.He asks them why had this happened.They explained,she did not leave for France at all...She was ill with cancer....She had believed that he will make it someday,but she did not want to be his obstacle!...therefore she had chosen to leave him.Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,doesn't mean that they don't love you with all they have...she had wanted her parents to put his paper cranesbeside her because,if the day comes when fate brings him to her again....he can take some of those back with him..Once you have loved,you will always love...For what's in your mind may escapebut what's in your heart will remain forever...The guy just wept....The worst way to miss someoneis to be sitting right beside themknowing you can't have them....hope you would understand...Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to you,for you might wake up one morning,losing that person whom you thought meant nothing to you.

<==== [+He5e!eMeN+s/aH.Wei__emotional.HeArt] ===> 236

A well-known speaker started off his seminar
by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked,
"Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you
but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"
And he dropped it on the ground
and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.

My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it
because it did not decrease in value.
It was still worth $20.

Many times in our lives,
we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt
by the decisions we make and
the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are worthless.

But no matter what has happened or
what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased,
you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you.
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we
know,
but by WHO WE ARE.

You are special- Don't EVER forget it."
If you do not pass this on, you may never know the
lives it touches, the hurting hearts it speaks to,
or the hope that it can bring.
Count your blessings, not your problems.
And remember: amateurs built the ark ...
professionals built the Titanic.
If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.

`* love

From the very beginning, girl's family
objected
strongly on her dating this guy, saying that it
has
got to do with family background, & that the
girl will
have to suffer for the rest of her life if she
were
to be with him.
Due to family pressure, the couple quarrelled
very
often. Though the girl loved the guy deeply,
she
always asked him: "How deep is your love for
me?" As the guy is not good with his words,
this
often caused the girl to be very upset. With
that &
the family's pressure, the gal often vent her
anger
on him. As for him,.. he only endured it in
silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally
graduated
& decided to further his studies overseas.
Before
leaving, he proposed to the gal: "I'm not very
good
with words. But all I know is that I love you. If
you
allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of
my
life. As for your family, I'll try my best to talk
them
round. Will you marry me?"

The girl agreed, & with the guy's
determination,
the family finally gave in & agreed to let them
get
married. So before he left, they got engaged.
The
gal went out to the working society, whereas
the
guy was overseas, continuing his studies.
They
sent their love through emails & phone calls.
Though it was hard, but both never thought of
giving up.

One day, while the gal was on her way to
work,
she was knocked down by a car that lost
control.
when she woke up, she saw her parents
beside
her bed. She realized that she was badly
injured.
Seeing her mum crying, she wanted to
comfort
her. But she realized that all that could come
out of
her mouth was just a sigh. she had lost her
voice.

The doctors says that the impact on her brain
has
caused her to lose her voice. Listening to her
parents' comfort, but with nothing coming out
from
her, she broke down. During the stay in
hospital,
besides silence cry,.. it's still just silence cry
that
accompanied her. Upon reaching home,
everything seems to be the same. Except for
the
ringing tone of the phone. Which pierced into
her
heart everytime it rang. She does not wish to
let
the guy know. & not wanting to be a burden to
him,
she wrote a letter to him saying that she
does not
wish to wait any longer.

With that, she sent the ring back to him. In
return,
the guy sent millions & millions of reply,
countless
of phonecalls,.. all the gal could do, besides
crying, is still crying. The parents decided to
move
away, hoping that she could eventually forget
everything & be happy. With a new
environment,
the gal learn sign language &am p; started a
new
life. Telling herself everyday that she must
forget
the guy. One day, her friend came & told her
that
he's back. She asked her friend not to let him
know what happened to her. Since then,
there
wasn't anymore news of him.

A year has passed & her friend came with an
envelope, containing a invitation card for the
guy's
wedding. the gal was shattered. When she
open
the letter, she saw her name in it instead.
When
she was about to ask her friend what's going
on,
she saw the guy standing in front of her.


He used sign language to tell her "I've spent
a
year to learn sign language. Just to let you
know
that I've not forgotten our promise. Let me
have the
chance to be your voice. I Love You." With
that, he
slipped the ring back into her finger. The gal
finally
smiled.


Treat every relationship as if it's the last one,
then
you'll know how to Give. Treat every moment
as is
it's the last day, then you'll know how to
treasure.
Treasure what you have right now, or else
you will
regret one day.
