Good One - A BEAUTIFUL STORY
 A little boy went to a Telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a store & 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 & the stairs of your house for free.
Woman: No, thank you. 
 
 With a smile on his face, the little  boy end call with thank you. 

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 & 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"

Thanks for referral Mr. Rohit.  This topic came out a month ago.  Anyway, its a great lesson to imbibe.  An interesting fact is that if the lady gets to know who the caller was, then there is a danger that the boy would get additional responsibility of sweeping the floor and the stairs at the same salary!
