"Be proud of what you do " my father always told me "whether you are a boss or a cleaner". When I was 15 I got a summer job in a hospital. I was told that my duties would include (包括) sweeping floors. I smiled and remembered Dad's 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 (尊敬) 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 patient rooms and cleaning the toilets. Though I was tired I wanted the job to be done well. Hearing people say " That young boy really does a good job" I was filled with pride.

Working in the hospital taught me that being proud of one's 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 father's words have always stayed with me. I was a good cleaner and now I'm a good manager. I think Dad would be proud of me all the time.
