My parents ran a small restaurant in Seattle. It was open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and my first   1   job, when I was six years old, was    2    diner's shoes. My father had done it when he was young, so he taught me    3    to do it right, telling me to offer to reshine the shoes if the customer wasn't    4    .Working in the restaurant was a    5    of great pride because I was also working for the    6    of the whole family. But my father made it clear I had to    7    certain standards to be part of the team. I had to be punctual, hard-working and    8    to the customers.

I was    9    paid for my work I did at the restaurant. One day I made the mistake of    10    Dad I thought he should give me $10 a week. He said, "OK, then how about you    11    me for the three meals a day you eat here? And for the times you bring in your buddies for free sodas?" He    12    I owed him about $40 a week.

I remember    13    home to Seattle after being away in the Army for about two years. I had just been    14    to captain and was full of pride as I walked into my parent's restaurant. The    15    thing Dad said was," How about your cleaning up tonight?" I cannot    16    this! I'm an officer in the US Army! But it didn't matter. As far as Dad was    17    , I was just another member of the team. I    18    the mop. Working for Dad had taught me that loyalty    19    a team comes first. It doesn't matter    20    that team is involved in a family restaurant or Operation Desert Storm.
