Three thousand years ago, the great Chinese sage Mencius ran away from school when he was only a small child. But when he got home, his mother did not strike him. Instead, she simply cut up a cloth that she was in the middle of painstakingly weaving, and told her son that if he did not continue his education he would end up like the cloth-unfinished and useless.
我們卻也發現︰三千年前，中國亞聖孟子幼時逃學回家，但孟母並沒有責打他，反而剪斷自己辛苦織成的布匹，讓孟子徹底反省。
