Once there was a boy with a bad temper. His dad told him to hammer a nail into the fence every time he lost his temper. The boy learnt to control his temper because it was easier than hammering the nails into the fence. Then his dad asked him to pull one nail out every time he was able to hold his temper. When the boy pulled out all the nails, his dad showed him the holes in the fence, telling him his anger had left “scars” that would never heal, like the holes in the fence.
Now writing your reflection.
According to the story, it is important to learn how to control your temper so that you do not do or say anything that will hurt other people. So how can we control our temper First, we can talk to someone we trust about how we feel. This is a good way of letting our anger out without hurting others. Second, we can go outdoors and play team sports with our friends, because physical exercise provides an effective way to calm down. Third, we can shift our attention to other things such as reading a book or watching a film. Focusing on something else helps us to forget our anger.
If we keep calm and stay optimistic, we can take control over our temper, which will benefit us throughout life.
