‘Self Appraisal’

A boy went into a store, reached for a wooden stool and pulled it over to the
telephone. He climbed onto the stool so that he could reach the buttons on the
phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits (phone
numbers). 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 of
the person who cuts your lawn now.’
Woman: ‘I’m very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my
lawn.
Boy: ‘I’ll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will
have the prettiest lawn.
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!’


MORAL OF THE STORY:
This is what we call ‘Self Appraisal’. Every time if we don’t get ahead of
others, we blame others for it. We should look to our self and compare, find
own weaknesses and work hard to throw away weaknesses. Always Work
Hard, Honest and with full Dedication. It will always pay up.
