This is such a cool concept.
There once was a young boy with a very bad temper. The boy’s father wanted to teach him a lesson, so he gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper he must hammer a nail into their wooden fence.
On the first day of this lesson, the little boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. He was really mad!
Over the course of the next few weeks, the little boy began to control his temper, so the number of nails that were hammered into the fence dramatically decreased.
It wasn’t long before the little boy discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Then, the day finally came when the little boy didn’t lose his temper even once, and he became so proud of himself, he couldn’t wait to tell his father.
Pleased, his father suggested that he now pull out one nail for each day that he could hold his temper.
Several weeks went by and the day finally came when the young boy was able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
Very gently, the father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.
“You have done very well, my son,” he smiled, “but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.”
The little boy listened carefully as his father continued to speak.
“When you say things in anger, they leave permanent scars just like these. And no matter how many times you say you’re sorry, the wounds will still be there.”
Shut Up and Take My Money of the Day: GIFTY, Conceptual Instant Flipbook Camera
For part of his college thesis, student Jiho Jang created the GIFTY, an instant camera that captures up to five seconds of video. It then will spit out a number of frames that can be assembled into a flipbook for a hand-held GIF. At the moment, Jang’s prototype is the only one in existence. Jang, if you’re listening, we would totally back your Kickstarter.
I was feeling down so i took a walk and stopped at the park. When i was there, this 5 year old boy came up to me and gave me these dandelions. and said something in french that i didn’t understand and then ran away. Even though i had no idea what he said, it was literally the cutest thing.
This is so cute.. you might know Taylor and his girlfriend, Danielle from an inspiring series of photos titled “A love story in 22 pictures” Taylor had four limbs amputated after a bomb blast while serving in Afghanistan, but never lost his energetic spirit and love of life.
