A man went to see a doctor．“Open your mouth，”the doctor said．Then the man opened his mouth and the doctor looked in quickly．
“It’s clear what’s wrong with you．You need more exercise，”the doctor said．
“But，doctor，”the man said，“I don’t think…”
“Don’t tell me what you think，”the doctor said．“I am the doctor，not you．I know what you need．I see hundreds of people like you．None of them get any exercise．They sit in offices all day and in front of the television in the evening．What you need is to walk quickly for at least 20 minutes a day．”
“Doctor，you don’t understand，”the man said．“I…”
“I don’t want to hear any excuses，”the doctor said．“You must find time for exercise．If you don’t，you will get fat and have health problems when you are older．”
“But I walk every day，”the man said．
“Oh，yes，and I know what kind of walking that is．You walk a few feet to the train station from your house，a few more feet from the station to your office，and a few more feet from your office to a restaurant for lunch and back．That’s not real walking．I’m talking about walking in the park for twenty minutes every day．”
“Will you listen to me，doctor？”the man shouted，getting angry with this doctor who thought he knew everything．“I’m a postman，”the man went on，“and I walk for seven hours every day．”

My father woke 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 happy. This was my first time to help my father in his business. I got $6 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 job well the first time. I will never fail to impress (留下印象) the person I’m working for.
After two years, my father told me and my brother that he felt we were old enough to cut the grass by ourselves. Every Saturday during my last two years of high school, we set off early in the morning with the same wish we had gained while working under 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 whatever I was paid was more than I had before.
A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. “If you’re only thinking about hard work and money, you probably don’t want to do better than you are doing,” I answered. In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, I’ve learned much. I’ve learned something that helps me in my next job.
If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.
