Mr father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and announced (宣布):"Get up,
you're going with me to cut the grass in the garden."
The idea that my father thought I was old enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and
excited. From sunup to sundown, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden. By the
end of the day I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his
business. I got $ 6 for my work that day.
One day my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside."Take away these leaves!" he said,
"and don't make me have to tell you to do it again." The message was clear. Today I value (珍视) the
importance of doing a job well the first time. It will never fail to impress (给……留下印象) the person you
are working for.
After two years, my father told me and my brother that he felt we were old enough to cut the grass by
ourselves. Every Saturday during my last two years of high school, we set off early in the morning with the
same strong wish we had gained while working under our father.
Looking after the garden was neither exciting nor high paying, but that didn't matter. It taught me that any
job was a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.
A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay."If
you're only thinking about hard work and money, you probably don't want to do any better than you are doing." I answered. In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, I've learned much. I've learned something
that helps me in my next job.
If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.
