A When I was 12, I got a part-time job on a dairy farm, miling cows. We miled 65 cows twice a day. One day, I complained to my father about having to mil those cows, saying it was tiring. He said, “you now, boy, to wor is a blessing.” I looed at the men who’d wored harder. I had a feeling I had been told something really important, but it too many years before it sun in. Bac then, going to college was a rare privilege. My father told me if I’d piced something to study that I lied doing, I’d always loo forward to my wor. But he also added, even having a job you hate is better than not having a job at all. I wanted to be a farmer, but I joined a military program to help pay for college. And what started out as an obligation to the Army became a way of life that I stayed committed to for 37 years. In the late 1980s, during a visit to Bangladesh, I saw a woman with her baby on her bac, breaing brics with a hammer. I ased a local officer why they weren’t using a machine to mae the wor easier. He told me a machine would put that lady out of wor. And as bad as that woman’s job was, it was enough to eep a small family alive. It reminded me of my father’s words to wor is a blessing. After seeing a lot of people lie that woman in Bangladesh, I’ve come to believe that people without jobs are not free. They’re victims of crime, poor health, and depression. People who have jobs can have a home, send their ids to school, develop a sense of pride, contribute to the good of the community and even help others. When we can wor, we are free. We are blessed. 1. Which can be the best title of the tet? A. To Wor Is a Blessing B. My Chosen Way of Life C. Why Should I Wor D. Inspiration from a Woman 2.
