Default Self Appraisal very touching!!! (I am Reposting it for New joinees of CiteHR)

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 Eight 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!"

Please notify me if you like this........

Dear Ranjith

"Feedback is the breakfast of Champions". The posting was really an excellent one. In most of the times we think that things are going on smoothly and that we are handling our work without any issues. Whatever might be the case, it is very important for us to get the feedback from our seniors and peers to progress and move forward in life.

Reality Check and getting feedback will stand in good stead for every employee. The feedback that we get should be taken in right sense for our own personal growth and success.

Regards
K.Manikandan

I don't know from where did I originally collected this story. I used it many times in my trainings and usually get very good response. Do you know the origin of this story or any thing more about this. please post if you have such short stories.
