故事
从前,有一个脾气很坏的男孩,他的爸爸给了他一袋钉子,告诉他每次发脾气或者跟人吵架的时候就在院子的篱笆上钉一根。第一天,男孩钉了37根钉子。后面的几天他学会了控制自己的脾气,每天钉的钉子也逐渐减少了。他发现,控制自己的脾气,实际上比钉钉子要容易的多。终于有一天,他一根钉子都没有钉,他高兴地把这件事告诉了爸爸。爸爸说:从今以后,如果你一天都没有发脾气,就可以在这天拔掉一根钉子。日子一天一天过去,最后,钉子全被拔光了。爸爸带他来到篱笆边上,对他说:儿子,你做得很好,可是看看篱笆上的钉子洞,这些洞永远也不可能恢复了。就象你和一个人吵架,说了些难听的话,你就在他心里留下了一个伤口,像这个钉子洞一样。插一把刀子在一个人的身体里,再拔出来,伤口就难以愈合了。无论你怎么道歉,伤口总是在那儿。要知道,身体上的伤口和心灵上的伤口一样都难以恢复。

I've read this too before. It's indeed so true. But, many a time, i just can't get to control my emotions and anger. So, what i try to do is to keep the anger back to myself; not a good thing though.
Erm, but I believe that everyone of us is learning every day. I'm still trying to improve my EQ, hahaha. What the heck, dont seem to have high IQ, so try to possess high EQ lor... :p
