I posted this story few years back on my alternate blog and still it is very much applicable to many of us working at different places. We have to work in the way the boy work in the story.
Just read it..
It's awesome attitude
A Little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a store and dialled a number. The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation;
Boy: “Madam, 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: “Madam, 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 the lawn.”
Boy: (with more perseverance) “Madam, 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 put the receiver down. 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”
Give your best and the world comes to you!!!
