I have witnessed a more common problem over
the past few years, a few Operators have displayed toward their employees. That
problem is controlling their anger. Allow me to share a story that may be helpful: This little boy had a (bad) anger problem. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him everytime he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence. The first day, the boy drove in 37 nails into the fence! Over the next few weeks, as he controlled his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive all those nails. Finally, the day came when he didn't lose his temper at all. He happily told his Father about it and the Father told the boy to now pull out one nail for each day he was able to hold his temper. Days passed and finally all the nails were gone. The Father took his son by the hand, back to that fence and told him; "You have done very well, but look at all the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger they leave scars that will never go away. They will be there to the end. Gentlemen, some of us must remember this story because the issue of displaying anger can and will ruin most businesses as well as personal relationships and/or households. Solve your problems logically and communicate with intelligence. Always think before you speak. Just a common sense (??) comment that I hope helps at least one. best always; Ed Valentine  |
