Wow...I loved it. This is truly one of the best reads in my opinion. This again comes from the email which was sent to me by one of my very good friends. This goes to my favorites. Hope you too will enjoy reading it :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 : "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 than 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 the floor and the stairs of your house for free.
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!"
This is called "Self Appraisal"
The difference between dream and aim - Dream requires Soundless sleep to see whereas Aim Requires Sleepless Efforts to Achieve...

An interesting piece of story, love how the boy is enthusiastic and checking on the lady's response on his work performance. Not many of us dare to do that to find out the truth these days, even though it can be a praise. :)
