In life, people come across many experiences, which they remember all their lives. I had a similar experience, too.

  It was the day of my last paper of the final exam. I was especially excited of the invitation that my uncle had given me to stay with him for a few days in Cambridge.

  On that day we got into our classroom. The teacher quickly handed out the paper. The paper was of two hours and some of the expected questions came. I finished it almost forty-five minutes earlier. But since it was a rule not to collect the paper before the allotted(规定的)time. I had to sit till the teacher collected the paper. I checked my paper twice and corrected some of the mistakes in it. I started thinking about the place my friends and I had planned to go after the exam. The time seemed to be endless. So I thought of drawing something on the paper and turned it overleaf. I was shocked to see that the page which I had supposed to be blank had four more questions on it which carried 20 marks and would take at least half an hour to complete. There were only 10 minutes left. I was so nervous that I could hardly write anything. They were the sub-questions(小题)of the last question. Suddenly our physics teacher came in and told all of us that in the last question, out of 6 sub-questions only 2 had to be solved. I felt very much relieved.

    From then on, I realized that my anxiousness and excitement could have cost me to lose 20 marks and decided never to make such a mistake again.

It is very important to be able to control(控制) yourself. Losing control may bring things that you would never want to see. We can learn something from the following story.

  Once a boy often made trouble. His mother gave him many nails(钉子). She told him to hammer(锤,钉)one in the garden fence every time he lost his patience and fought with someone. The first day he hammered 27 nails. In the following weeks he learned how to control himself better and the number of nails hammered became smaller and smaller. He learned it was easier to control himself than to hammer nails.

  The day finally came when he didn’t hammer any nails. He went to tell his mother about it. Then his mother told him to pull off a nail from the fence each time he didn’t lose his patience. After some days he told his mother that all the nails had been pulled off, Thus, she took him to the fence and said to him, “You’ve behaved well, but look at all the holes in the fence. The fence will never be again like it was before. When you fight with someone, you leave wounds(伤口)in him like these. The trouble may be over, but the wounds will always be there.”

  So, learn to control yourself before you hammer the nail in the fence. Try not to leave any holes in your past.
