A little story from Chinese philosophy-The story of LaoWang's broken watch

One day, when Lao Wang got up in the morning to brush histeeth, he put his watch next to the sink. His wife was afraid that the watchwould get wet, so he put it on the dining table. When my son went to the tablefor breakfast, he accidentally touched his watch on the ground and broke it.When Lao Wang saw that his watch was broken, he was very angry. He scolded hisson severely and beat him. At the same time, he told his wife that she owedmoney. The wife was not convinced, and they had a quarrel. In a fit of anger,Lao Wang slammed the door and drove directly to the company, only to find thathe had forgotten to bring his briefcase, which contained the very importantdocuments submitted with the client today. So he quickly drove back to get it,and the result was that his wife had gone to work and was not at home, and hehad left his keys at home. Lao Wang had to call his wife hurriedly to open thedoor. The wife came back in a hurry again, because she was so anxious, sheaccidentally sprained her foot when she took the steps. Lao Wang got thedocument and hurried back to the company, and the result was that the customerhad gone. The boss severely criticized Lao Wang and deducted all his annualbonus. When his wife's foot was injured, Lao Wang had to ask for leave from thecompany to accompany his wife to the hospital to see a doctor, and the result ofthe total attendance award was lost. My son had to take an exam this morning,because he was scolded by Lao Wang in the morning, he was in a bad mood allday, and the paper was handed in without much writing. The school teachercalled Lao Wang and asked him to talk. Lao Wang has to go to the hospital totake care of his wife, go to the school to talk to the teacher, and write aletter to apologize to the boss of the company.
