"Be proud of what you do," my father always told me ， " whether you are a boss or a cleaner. ” When I was 15， I got a summer job in a hospital. I was told that my duties would include(包括;)sweeping floors. I smiled and remembered Dad's words.

After breakfast was done,I started sweeping the floors of all patient rooms and cleaning the toilets. Though I was tired,I wanted the job to be done well. Hearing people say "That young boy really does a good job" ， I was filled with pride.

Through every job I have ever had,my father's words have always stayed with me. I was a good cleaner,and now Fm a good manager. I think Dad would be proud of me all the time.
