C
My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and announced, “Get up, you’re going with me to cut the grass in the garden.”
The idea that my father thought I was old enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and excited. From sunup to sundown, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden. By the end of the day, I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his business. I got six dollars for my work that day.
One day, my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside. “Take away these leaves!” he said, “and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I value the importance of doing a job well the first time.
Two years later, my father told me and my brother that we were old enough to cut the grass by ourselves. Every Saturday, we set off early in the morning and wished to get some money from our father.
Looking after the garden was neither exciting nor high paying, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job was a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.
If you’re only thinking about hard work and money, you probably don’t want to do any better than you are doing. In every job, from cutting the grass to washing the dishes, I’ve learned much. If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.
