Well, when mentioning the time when I broke something, it was my phone because I was playing a mobile game. It happened about one year ago when I was home during the weekend. I was playing an online battle game with my friends, and it was really intense. I was very nervous because we were so close to winning, but in the end, I made a small mistake and our team lost. At that moment, I got really frustrated and was distracted, not thinking clearly. I threw my phone on the bed, but unfortunately, it bounced and hit the floor. The sound was so loud that I knew something was wrong. When I picked it up, I saw that the screen was completely cracked and the phone wouldn't turn on anymore. I felt awful and extremely regretful. The phone was quite expensive, and I had saved money for months to buy it. I realized that getting angry over a game was really silly. The next day, I took it to a repair shop and spent a lot of money to fix the screen. Luckily, it worked again, but after that, I promised myself to be more careful and control my temper. Now, whenever I play games, even if I lose, I try to stay calm and just laugh about it. It taught me an important lesson to appreciate what I have and never let my emotions get out of control. Since then, I have treated my phone more carefully and learned to enjoy games for fun, not just to win.
