\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

While a man was polishing his new car,
\nhis 4 yr old son picked up a stone
\nand scratched lines on the side of the car.
\nIn anger, the man took the child’s hand
\nand hit it many times not realizing
\nhe was using a wrench.<\/p>\n

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers
\ndue to multiple fractures.<\/p>\n

When the child saw his father…..
\nwith painful eyes he asked, ‘Dad when will my fingers grow back?’
\nThe man was so hurt and speechless;
\nhe went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.<\/p>\n

Devastated by his own actions….. .
\nsitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches;
\nthe child had written ‘LOVE YOU DAD’<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Anger and Love have no limits;
\nchoose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely
\nlife & remember this:
\nThings are to be used and people are to be loved.
\n<\/strong>The problem in today’s world is
\nthat people are used while things are loved.<\/p>\n

Let’s try always to keep this thought in mind:
\nThings are to be used,
\nPeople are to be loved.<\/p>\n

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
\nWatch your words; they become actions.
\nWatch your actions; they become habits.
\nWatch your habits; they become character;
\nWatch your character; it becomes your destiny.<\/p>\n

I’m glad a sweet person forwarded this to me as a reminder…
\nI hope you have a good day no matter what problems you may face
\nit’s the only day you’ll have before it’s over.<\/p>\n
