BE PATIENT
BE PATIENT
This is a true story which happened in the States. A
man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To
his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily
hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck.
The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered
the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When
the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the
hospital.
Although the doctor tried desperately to save the
crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the
fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke
up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he
innocently said, " Daddy,I'm sorry about your
truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers
going to grow back?" The father went home &
committed
suicide.
Think about this story the next time someone steps
on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first
before u lose your patience with someone u love.
Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt
feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize
the difference between the person and the
performance.
