"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．

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 (經(jīng)理)．I think Dad would be proud of me．
