(AZADI KE PANKH CREATIONS )
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 (phone numbers).
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 of 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 your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the
prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach , Florida.’
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!’.
Moral: This is what we call ‘Self
Appraisal’. Every time if we don’t get
ahead of others, we blame others for it.
We should look to our self and compare, find own weaknesses and work hard
to throw away weaknesses. Always Work
Hard, Honest and with full Dedication.
It will always pay up.
