Bad Temper
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a
bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail
into the back of the fence.
At first, the boy had driven thirty-seven nails into the fence. Over the next few
weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily
gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to
drive those nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when the boy didn't lose his
temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy
now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days
passed and the boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You
have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. Consequently, the
fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just
like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how
many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. In other words, a verbal wound
is as bad as a physical one.

First e-sports college degree in the Philippines now in the works


By Vince Ferreras, CNN Philippines

Metro Manila — Online gaming might not be an after-school pastime anymore in the future as the first degree
program in electronic sports (esports) in the country is being developed.

The Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) and esports and gaming agency Tier One Entertainment collaborated to
develop the curriculum of the four-year degree on Bachelor of Science in ESports. It will be offered this coming school
year
once approved by the Commission on Higher Education. “We will be passing the curriculum to the Commission on
Higher Education (CHED) on March this year. If this goes well, we might have a full course available by 2020,”
said Tier One Entertainment in a post on social media.

The gaming agency’s chief executive officer Tryke Gutierrez said that the new degree program will have two tracks
namely: game development and esports management. However, he did not disclose yet the subjects under the
program.
“The goal has always been to create more opportunities for gamers in Asia. If this curriculum gets approved, we won't
just be providing post career opportunities for gaming, but we will have a new generation of graduates ready to work
in the esports industry,” said Gutierrez in an online post.
