From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden, in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. 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 $ 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 seriously, “and dont make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I still value（珍视） it , which my father gave to me that day. It will always be helpful to impress (给留下印象) the person you are working for.After two years, I left home and went to another town to start my new life. Luckily for me, I quickly found a job to wash dishes in a restaurant. Every morning, I set off early, always with the same strong wish I got long long ago. I felt like I was old enough to be independent and make a living by myself.In fact, washing dishes was not exciting, but that didnt matter. It taught me that any job was a good job and whatever I got from the job was more than I had before. I could learn something meaningful from every job and do it better and better. One day, a newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. “If you only think about hard work and money, 58” I answered.In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, Ive learned much. Ive learned something that helps me in my next job.21 .

So she called the police.When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde was about a foot high. A bell went off. “Is Clyde your child or your pet?” the officer suspiciously asked. “Well, hes my cat, of course,” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, youre supposed to report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS,” said the irritated policeman. “Well, who can I report this to?” she asked. “You cant. You have to ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers,” replied the officer.Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than a “811” piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an empty billboard at the end of her street just off the interstate highway. The billboard had phone number on it. She called that number, and they told her they could blow up a picture of Clyde （from Mrs. Browns family album） and put it on the billboard for all to see. They told her it would cost only $ 3, 000 a month. So she
