Self Appraisal
A little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the counter of a store and dialed a number. The store owner observed and listened to the conversation.
BOY: Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?
LADY: I already have someone to cut my lawn.
BOY: I will cut your lawn for half the price the current person is asking.
LADY: I am very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn.
BOY: I will even sweep the floor and the stairs of your house for free.
LADY: No, thank you.
BOY: Okay then. Bye.
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: I like your attitude and your positive spirit and would like to offer you a job.
BOY: No thanks.
STORE OWNER: I thought you were 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.
