My name is Tom. When I was young, I was always sad, almost everything ending in failure. I completely lost heart, sighing(叹息) unhappily all day. Having seen me like that, my father decided to cheer me up.
One day, he gave me a cup of water and asked me to taste it. I found it salty. My father said he just put one small spoon of salt in the cup. And then, he led me to a lake, where he put a big handful(一把) of salt into the lake, picked up a spoon of water and let me taste it again. He asked, "Does it still taste salty? .... Not at all," I said, My father said, "Now, you may know the reason of your pain: You are just a cup of water, but not a lake. Be a lake and you won't feel sad any more."
I came to understand my father's purpose: I feel frustrated because my heart is as small as a cup of water. He hoped that I can be a person with a heart like a lake.
