Be proud of what you do”(对你所做的感到骄傲)，my father always told me, “whether 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(作为回报)，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 patient 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. Though 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!
