Self Appraisal
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!!!
