When I was in college twenty-five years ago, I spent four summers working in1at a luxury hotel in downtown Chicago.2, I was a maid.
I did not enter the world of housekeeping enthusiastically. My friends had3jobs such as making ice cream, selling goods at the mall, or life guarding at the outdoor pool. I had been hoping to get a job as an office lady for a famous company:4pay, air-conditioned office, the gold standard for summer jobs, as most of us dreamed of. When that5, the only option left was to take a train ride downtown each morning to work as a maid.
It was tiring work, cleaning up to eighteen rooms a day. My6attitude reflected my disdain(鄙视) for cleaning toilets,7bed sheets, dusting, eight hours a day for the comfort of total strangers who8left a tip. I thought it was beneathme. My maid work was average9 the day I was assigned to the eighteenth floor.
That was Lorena’s regular floor. The only time another maid set foot on it was on Lorena’s day off. If you left any water10on the mirror, or a hair on the bed, Lorena would hunt you down when she11, as I found out firsthand. She’d ended her lecture to me with “12some pride in your work.”
She did. And so did Rosalie, Helen, Annette, and all the other experienced maids. Their devotion to doing a good job and their belief that their work was a13of their character stuck with me throughout my14career after graduation. I learned a lot from them during those four summers.
Not a week would go without one of them15some firm but friendly advice: “Where’s your commode brush? You don’t have one? How do you expect to get that bowl clean?”
Their pride in a job well done was reflected in how they treated16. They left the building at the end of the day in nice dresses and17makeup. They looked like they could have been attending an afternoon tea. And,18often, they were smiling and laughing, cheerfully greeting their co-workers a good evening. When you work with happiness and19, a job will be well done. I believe there is20in any job if you work hard and try your best.

Frank told us of his childhood. “My dad was a fisherman, and he1 the sea. It was 2making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out 3 he caught enough to feed the family.”
“He was a big man, and was4 from pulling the nets and fighting the seas. When you got close to him, he smelled like the 5. No matter how much my mother 6 his clothes, they would 7 smell of fish.”
“Every day he drove me to school. When the old truck rattled (嘎嘎作响) down the road, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to 8. When we reached school, he would give me a kiss on the cheek and 9 me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. I was 10 twelve years old!”
“I 11 the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When he started to lean toward me, I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.’ It was the first time I had ever talked to him in that 12, and he had this 13 look on his face. I said, ‘Dad, I’m too old for a goodbye kiss.’ My dad looked at me and his eyes were filled with tears. I had never seen him 14. ‘You’re right,’ he said. ‘You are a big boy...a man. I won’t 15 you any more.’”
16 began to well up in Frank’s eyes, “It wasn’t long after that when my dad went to sea and never came back. 17 of the boats stayed in that day because of a coming storm, but not dad. He had a big family to 18.”
“Guys, you don’t know what I would like is to have my dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek, to feel his 19old face, to smell the ocean on him. I wish I had been a man then. 20 I had been a man, I would never have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”

A few days ago, my sister Liz and I talked about Dad, and we decided to get him a little something for Father's Day. We talked about the times when we were 1 up and how Mom and Dad used to play the ‘good cop, bad cop’ thing on us. Dad has been a person of few words since we were 2 . He raised us more by 3 than anything else. When he spoke, though we listened, he was always mysterious and difficult to understand. There was always a(n) 4 meaning that I never got, but Liz always 5 to decipher(破解) him. By the time I got to high school, I had wanted a skateboard and I 6 I was too old to ask money from my parents, so I worked at a burger joint (美式汉堡店). One day, I was really angry about annoying burgers. I came home huffing and puffing(气喘吁吁). Dad saw me and asked me what was the 7. I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers. He said that we all have to start somewhere, that we may not know it now, but the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come in handy 8in life, ‘Who knows, you might end up having to run a 9 or even own one when you grow up,’ said Dad. He 10 me down and I kept what he said in mind, even though I really didn’t agree with it.
A couple of years later, when I got to college, I worked in a restaurant. During one of the really 11 days that we had, we were short on kitchen staff. Our customers were getting impatient and the 12 were getting delayed. We were sure any minute something terrible would 13 out. I couldn’t stand the 14 any more, so I rolled up my sleeves, got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen. We caught up with the orders 15. The owner saw what I did and called me over around 16 time. He said that he was very 17. He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part-time. That was 18 I realized that what my dad said to me all those years before was absolutely true.
I’ve never forgotten what my dad said that day. And whenever I have to do something that requires new skills, no matter how insignificant or 19 it seems, I have a new perspective(看法) that it might really help me later on or even right now and I just don’t know it. Experience is everything and it 20 a lot when you take lessons from it. That’s my life’s philosophy.
