After two years my father told me and my brother that he felt we were old enough to do lawns(草坪)on our own. Every Saturday during our last two years of high school. We set out early in the morning with the same desire(愿望)and drive we had gained while working under our father.

Taking care of lawns was not exciting or high-paying, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job is a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.

A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live on a forty-hour-a-week minimum(最低的)pay.‘My father never worked just forty hours a week, and neither have I,’I replied.‘If you’re only working forty hours, you probably don’t want to do any better than you’re doing.’

In every job I’ve held�from doing lawns to washing dishes�I have learned something that helped me in my next job. If you look hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.
