A little boy went to a
telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a store and dialed a number.
The store-owner observed
and listened to the conversation:
Boy: “Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?
Woman: (at the other end of the phone line) “I already have someone to
cut my lawn.”
Boy: “Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price than the person
who cuts your lawn now.”
Woman: I’m very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my
lawn.
Boy: (with more perseverance) “Lady, I’ll even sweep the floor and
the stairs of your house for free.
Woman: No, thank you.
With a smile on his
face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening
to all this, walked over to the boy.
Store Owner: “Son… I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and
would like to offer you a job.”
Boy: “No thanks,
Store Owner: But you were really pleading for one.
Boy: No Sir, I was just checking my performance at
the job I already have.
I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!” *
This is called
self Appraisal Give your best and the world comes to you!!!!!
