There once was a young boy with a very bad temper. The boy’s father wanted to teach him a lesson, so he gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper he must hammer a nail into their wooden fence.
On the first day of this lesson, the little boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. He was really mad!
Over the course of the next few weeks, the little boy began to control his temper, so the number of nails that were hammered into the fence dramatically decreased.
It wasn’t long before the little boy discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Then, the day finally came when the little boy didn’t lose his temper even once, and he became so proud of himself, he couldn’t wait to tell his father.
Pleased, his father suggested that he now pull out one nail for each day that he could hold his temper.
Several weeks went by and the day finally came when the young boy was able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
Very gently, the father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.
“You have done very well, my son,” he smiled, “but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.”
The little boy listened carefully as his father continued to speak.
“When you say things in anger, they leave permanent scars just like these. And no matter how many times you say you’re sorry, the wounds will still be there.”
Parenting done right

Sleep Habits of the Zodiac
- ♈ Aries: Aries are a hyperactive sign and tend to have sleeping troubles. Their dreams are often intense and vivid, They find it very hard to wind down at night and ignore the health benefits of good sleep. Slide sleeping is known to improve sleep quality
- ♉ Taurus: Sleep can be very fitful for Taurus if they are not comfortable. They are especially sensitive to their environment. They tend to sleep long and appreciate bed time. Meaningful dreams. Sleep best in company.
- ♊ Gemini: Gemini can survive off a fairly minimal amount of sleep - but it eventually catches up with them. Their minds are always racing in overdrive so sleep never comes easily. Many see sleep as an inconvenience and insomnia as productive 'extra' time
- ♋ Cancer: Cancer can have restless sleep patterns because they are likely to suffer nightmares a lot. Bedtime is especially volatile for Cancer because they dwell in all their troubles before sleep. They usually never feel completely 'awake'
- ♌ Leo: Most Leo are back sleepers and tend to drift off quite easily; unless they are stressed. They appreciate bed time and like to sleep amongst the most luxurious and sensuous of sheets and linen. Meaningful and precognitive dreams
- ♍ Virgo: Virgo cannot sleep if they are stressed or in an environment of disorder. Their chronic habit of overthinking makes it difficult for them to wind down before bed. They function most well when they have obtained a 'sleep schedule'
- ♎ Libra: Libra swing between sleeping too much and not enough. They can survive on minimal sleep for a short period then literally spend days in bed. A balanced sleep pattern is a good sign of inner equilibrium for Libra
- ♏ Scorpio: Scorpio's sleep is directed by their state of moods. A 'lifted' Scorpio will survive off minimal sleep - pushing bed time back as late as possible as they fall into their concentrated obsessions. An unhappy Scorpio will become very hypersomniac and need a lot of sleep
- ♐ Sagittarius: Sagittarius can survive off a minimal sleep arrangement but tend to naturally exhaust themselves through the day. They can put off bed time by becoming too excited or hyper about things at night. Occasionally restless, meaningful dreams
- ♑ Capricorn: Capricorn appreciate their sleep and try to get as much as possible - knowing it is within their best interests. A stressed Capricorn will have pronounced sleep troubles - insomnia is a sign of great inner distress for this sign
- ♒ Aquarius: have pronounced sleep troubles and tend to be restless and uncomfortable in sleep. Their racing thoughts make it hard for them to wind down at night and their use of technology and reading before bed compounds their minimal sleep
- ♓ Pisces: Sleep is opium for Pisceans; and out of all the zodiac, they need the most hours. Their receptive nature means they are drained by others and sleep restores their energy reserves. Many never feel truly 'awake'; they tend to have vivid and meaningful dreams
I think a great idea for reality tv is to take 15 random teens from around the world that are addicted to the computer, and put them in an amish village until they have a mental breakdown

bxcc:
and she gets put through the worst.
don’t know what i would do without her, she is the most important
person in my life. i can’t understand how there are people who have
great mothers and they treat them like crap and people at my age
think it’s imature and weird to spend time with their moms
and to have a very strong bond..and everyone just disappoints her
and she pays for your internet connection.
She’s the best! :)
my mumma is the best, she cooks me food and rubs my tummy when i am sick LOVE YA MUM
My mum is gorgeous. She always thinks positive even though she lives in a shitty house, in a shitty suburb in a shitty town, she always manages to look at how great life is. Love you mum. <3
She’s the best.
the most important person in my life. we will go through this hard time. divorces are never easy, but you’ll come back strong on top. mom, i love you
i wish it was easy for me to express how i feel, but i think my mum knows that i love her more than anything. mum i will love you till the end of time
i dont know you, and i probably never will, but i hope you are out there and safe. I hope you have a wonderful life, and that i will meet you someday. i think about you all the time, i think about what you look like, what you do, who you are with.. wherever you are, i will always love you, no matter what.
so beautiful
The most beautiful and amazing woman in my life. I love you mom. <3
I love my mami
my mum is a babe
I love my mum so much. She’s my best friend. We do everything together and I can tell her anything. People say that being close with your parents isn’t ‘cool’ or its childish. But being close with mum is great. She will always be there for me through anything, I know that she will. She’s had a pretty shit life. An abusive husband, she’s still with him. The worst part is that she’s staying with him forme. She doesn’t want to see me hurt, I hate that she purrs me before herself. I love my mum to bits, she’s the best thing in my life and I honestly don’t know what I would do with out her. She thinks so bad of herself. She thinks she’s fat, ugly, dumb, not good enough. I couldn’t even begin to imagine what she is going through with dad saying nasty things to her all the time. I love you mum, I really do.
My mom is so amazing, I want to be her when I’m her age.
Marijuana and tumblr are so bad for you.
I started smoking about the time I got my shit together.
I started blogging about the time I became happier.
Yup, don’t do drugs or blog.
They are both bad!

Every single person needs to reblog this. No, it will not ruin your blog, it will make it a million times better.
So much respect. And sadness. He’s trying so hard to stay strong.

No, no, this is horrible. You see, the flag will go to the husband or wife of the deceased soldier as next of kin. This flag is going to the son.
