Once upon a time, there was a butcher with a bad temper. Every morning, he would go to the market to sell meat. One day, because business was bad, he was in a bad mood and was about to pack up and go home when a picky customer came along. The customer picked and chose his meat and deliberately lowered the price. The butcher could no longer bear it and started to curse at the customer, who left angrily. The butcher lost a customer and, more importantly, he lost his ability to control his emotions and his business opportunities.
