“Be proud of what you do,” my father always told me, “whether(是否) you are a boss (老板) or a cleaner.” When I was 15, I got a summer job in a hospital. I was told that my duties would include sweeping floors. I smiled and remembered Dads words.

Even though my job was the lowest, it made me feel excited. I saw it as a challenge because it was my first job. I learned to be on time and tried to do everything well. In return, I was treated with respect(尊重) by doctors, nurses and patients. Each morning I imagined that the dirty dishes would make patients more sick if I were not there to wash them clean. After breakfast was done, I started sweeping the floors of all rooms and cleaning toilets. Though I was tired, I wanted the job to be done well. People would say, “That young boy really does a good job.” That gave me a pride.

Working in the hospital taught me that being proud of ones job is important. It does not matter whether the job is sweeping floors or managing a large business. Through every job I have ever had, my fathers words have always stayed with me. I have swept floors, and I have been a manager(經(jīng)理). I think Dad would be proud of me.
