“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.

Simplified Meaning:
Everyone should do their job really well, no matter what the job is. Even if someone is a street sweeper, they should work with as much care and effort as a famous artist, musician, or poet. They should do such a great job that people will notice and remember how well they did their work.
