An 11-year-old American boy accidentally broke the glass of his neighbor's house while playing soccer, and the neighbor was furious and demanded $12 from him. At the time, that was astronomical enough to buy 125 egg-laying hens. The boy told his father about the accident and repented.
Seeing his son's embarrassment, the father took out $12 and said, "I lent you this money, and you will return it to me in a year." After the boy lost his money, he began to work hard.
Finally, after half a year of hard work, he returned the "astronomical amount" to his father exactly as it was. This boy was the later American Ronald Reagan. He also recalled:
Taking responsibility for mistakes through my own labor has taught me what responsibility is. ”

Break the glass and pay for yourself.
A 12-year-old boy accidentally broke the glass of his neighbor's house while playing football in the yard. The neighbor demanded compensation of $125 at the original price. It was 1920, and you could buy 125 chickens for $125.
When he got home, his father asked the reason and said that he would have to pay for what he had broken. Because the child had no money of his own, the father lent him $125 and promised to pay it back in a year. Over the next year, the boy earned money by shining shoes and delivering newspapers, and finally returned $125 to his father.
This kid grew up to become a man of the year in the United States, and he was Reagan.

The Virtue of Cherishing Money (Li Ka-shing) Li Ka-shing once came out of the hotel and was about to get into the car, when he dropped a coin on the ground, and the coin rolled towards the gutter, so he leaned down to chase it. Seeing this, an Indian security guard immediately came over to help him pick it up and handed it over to him. Li Ka-shing put the coins in his pocket, then took out HK$100 from his wallet and handed it to the security guard as a reward.
Spending 100 yuan for one yuan is not cost-effective from any point of view. Someone asked Li Ka-shing about this incident, and he explained: "If I don't pick up the coin, it will disappear from this world, and I give the security guard 100 yuan, and he can use it to spend."
I think money can be used, but not wasted" Cherishing wealth is a quality, a kind of cultivation, and a kind of morality. I remember when I was a child, my parents taught us that we should cherish clothes and clothes, and cherish money to use.
So thrift is a virtue, and that's probably the case.

When Fawkes was a child, Fawkes's father once planned to tear down the small pavilion in the garden and build a larger one. Little Fox was very curious about the demolition of the pavilion and wanted to see for himself how the workers had demolished it, and he asked his father to call him when he demolished it. Little Fox happened to be away from home for a few days, and he repeatedly begged his father to wait for him to come back before demolishing the pavilion, and Fox's father said perfunctorily
All right! I'll tear down the pavilion when you come back. ”
A few days later, when Little Fawkes returned home, he found that the old pavilion had long been demolished, and Little Fawkes was sad. At breakfast, Little Fox whispered to his father, "Your words don't count!"
The father was surprised by this and said, "Don't count? What doesn't count?
It turned out that my father had forgotten what he had said a few days ago. After hearing his son's words, Old Fox thought about it and decided to admit his mistake to his son. He said to Little Fox seriously
Dad infiltrated the sedan chair, dad was wrong! I should be responsible for what I said! So, Old Fox found the workers again, asked the workers to rebuild a pavilion exactly like the old pavilion in the position of the old pavilion, and then demolished the "old pavilion" in front of Little Fox, and let Little Fox see how the workers demolished the pavilion.
Later, old Fox always said: "Keeping one's word and being responsible for one's words is more precious than ten thousand family fortunes!" ”
