　　It is very important to be able to control 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(耐心)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．

It is the duty of every man to work.The lire of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others.The man who is too lazy to work is the man who's generally most ready to beg or steal(偷窃).Every boy,when he is young,should learn some useful work.But it is not enough that a boy should learn some kind of work.He should put his heart and soul completely into his work,and not waste his free time.“Working while you work and playing while you play is as good rule for young people as for the old.”There is no better help to diligence(勤奋) than the habit of early rising,and this,just like all other good habits,is most easily formed in youth.There is an English saying“Lost time never returns.”This means that everybody must be diligent,and make good use of his time.One must study hard when one is young so that one may make great progress(进步),succeed(成功) in life and become useful to one's country.Therefore,we can say that diligence is the mother of success.
