"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 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 (尊重) by doctors, nurses and patients．Each morning I imagine 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 patients 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 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 have swept floors, and I have been a manager (经理)．I think Dad would be proud of me．
