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 the 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 !!!
