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"
