Self Appraisal....short and meaningful story

A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and pulled it
over to the telephone.

He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the phone
and proceeded to punch in seven digits.

The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:

The boy asked, "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?

The woman replied, "I already have someone to cut my lawn."

"Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your
lawn now." replied boy.

The woman responded that she was very satisfied with the person who was
presently cutting her lawn.

The little boy found more perseverance and offered,"Lady, I'll even sweep
your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn
in all of North Palm beach,Florida."

Again the woman answered in the negative. 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 and
said, "Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would
like to offer you a job."

The little boy replied,"No thanks, I was just checking my performance and
the job I already have.I am the one who is working for that lady, I was
talking to !"
