Corinthians 13: 4-7
Love is patient
Love is kind
It does not boast
It is not proud,
It is not self seeking
It is not easily angered
It keeps no record of wrongs
Love does not delight in evil
But rejoices with the truth
It always protects, always trusts,
Always hopes, always perseveres.

Nails in the fence
Let me tell you a story....
There was once a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that everytime he lose 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 learnt to control his anger, the number of nail hammered daily gradually dwindled down.
He discovered that it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy did not 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 bu 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."

Self improvement
A quote sent out by my big boss:
To attract attractive people, you must be attractive. To attract powerful people, you must be powerful. To attract committed people, you must be committed. Instead of going to work on them, you go to work on yourself. If you become, you can attract.
- Jim Rohn
