Self-Appraisal !

A Little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a store and dialed 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 am 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! Don't relax or show laziness. Whole world is watching you!

A famous quote said by Lord Krishna in Bhagvat Gita : "If you don't fight for what you want, don't cry for what you lost."

"Nothing depends on luck, everything depends on work because,  even luck has to work.."
