Last year Tom received a book introducing his favorite hero. After reading the book carefully, Tom had a thorough understanding of the hero’s life, and found that the hero also had some hidden weakness. From what the hero did, Tom understand that small kindnesses sometimes can bring rich rewards, while small offences can bring disaster. The hero’s success depended on his hardworking rather than his talent , which made Tom believe that he himself could realize his dream before long only if he could stick to it.
