During the Tang Dynasty, there was a famous poet named Li Bai, known for his profound knowledge and extraordinary talent. He wrote many immortal masterpieces. However, he was unrestrained and often careless in his life. Once, he was invited to a grand banquet, and the organizer specially prepared a congratulatory speech for him to recite at the banquet. Li Bai readily agreed, carefully prepared, and wrote through the night and day, finally completing the congratulatory speech before the start of the banquet. However, when he began to recite it, he found that the speech was full of loopholes, the sentences were not smooth, and there were many typos, embarrassing the guests present. Although Li Bai was exceptionally talented, his casual lifestyle led to a major blunder at an important event. This incident made him realize that no matter what he did, he had to be careful and meticulous; otherwise, he would make mistakes that were irreparable.
