A couple of days ago, my sister Liz and I spoke about Dad, and we decided to get him a little something together for Father’s Day. we talked about times when we were 16 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 17. He raised us more by 18 than anything else. When he spoke, though, we listened, and he was always mysterious and difficult to understand. There was always a(n) 19meaning that I never got, but Liz always 20 to decipher（破解）him. By the time I got to high school, I had wanted a whole bunch of skateboard gear（装备） and I 21 I was too old to ask money from may parents so I worked a burger joint(快餐店). 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 22 . I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers. He said that we all have to 23 somewhere, that we may know it now, but? the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come I handy later in life. “Who knows, you might end up having to run a 24 or even own one when you grow up,” said Dad. He 25 me down and I kept what he said in mind, even though I 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 26 days that we had, we? were short on kitchen staff. Our customers were getting impatient and the 27 were getting delayed. we were sure any minute something terrible would 28 out. I couldn’t stand the 29 any more, so I rolled up my sleeves, got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen. We caught up the with the orders 30 . The owner saw what I did and called me over around 31 time. He said he was very 32 . He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part-time. That was 33 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. And whenever I have to do something that require new skills, no matter how small or 34 it seems, I have a new perspective（看法）that it might help me later on or even right now and I just don’t know it. Experience is everything and it 35 a lot when you take lessons from it. That’s my life philosophy.
