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?
Women: (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."
Women: 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.
Women: 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!
