Self Appraisal

A little boy went into a 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, "Maam, Can you give me the job of cutting

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

"I will cut your lawn for

half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now." replied the boy.

The woman responded that she was very satisfied with the person who was

presently cutting her lawn.

The little boy was even more perseverant and said, "I'll

even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the

prettiest lawn in all of 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 this conversation, 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 on the job I already have. I

am the one who is working for the lady I was talking to."
