Walton received an admission notice from the famous Yale University. However, because the family is poor, they can't afford tuition, and they are facing the crisis of dropping out of school. He decided to use his vacation to work and become a painter like his father.

Walton got a job painting a big house. Although the owner of the house, Michael, is very picky, he is well paid. Walton jumped at the deal. At work, Walton was born meticulous, and his serious and responsible attitude satisfied Mike's foreign exchange market several times. The day is coming to an end. Horton painted the last door panel and hung it to dry. After all this, Walton breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to go out and have a rest. He didn't want to trip over the bricks under his feet. This is terrible. Walton knocked down the propped door panel. The door panel fell on the newly painted white wall, and there was an obvious trace of red paint on the wall. Walton immediately cut off the paint marks with a knife and added some paint. But after all this, he felt that the color of the paint was different from the original one, and the new one was out of harmony with the surrounding area. What shall we do? Walton decided to repaint the wall.

It took Walton about half a day to finish painting the wall. However, the next day, Walton was dismayed to find that the color of the newly painted wall was different from that of the adjacent wall, which became more and more obvious. Walton sighed and decided to buy some more materials and repaint all the walls. Although he knew it would cost him twice as much money and not make much money, Walton decided to repaint them. What he wants in his heart is to be responsible for his work.

No sooner had he bought the materials he needed than Michael came to check the work. Walton apologized to him and truthfully told the story and his inner thoughts. Instead of getting angry, Michael gave Wharton a thumbs-up sign. As a reward for Walton's responsible attitude towards his work, Michael is willing to help him finish his college studies. Finally, Walton accepted the help. Later, he not only successfully finished college, but also married Michael's daughter after graduation and entered Michael's company. Ten years later, he became the chairman of this company. Now everyone knows the world's largest Wal-Mart retail company, but not many people know that the chairman of the company was the poor boy who painted the walls. A wall changed Walton's fate, or his responsible attitude towards his work changed his fate.
