One day a little boy went to the local drug store and pulled out a box to reach the store's telephone. Then he got up on the box and took the telephone in his hand and dialed a number. The shopkeeper noticed the incident and tried to listen to the conversation-
Boy: Ma'am , can you give me the job of cleaning your garden?
Woman: (from the other side of the phone) There is already an employee to cut the grass in the garden.
Son: Ma'am , I will cut the grass in your garden for half the price.
Woman: I am very satisfied with the work of the one who now cuts the grass in my garden.
Boy: (with more sincerity) Ma'am , I'll sweep your yard and your house. As a result you will get the most tidy house on the weekends.
Woman: Stay, thank you.
With a smile of satisfaction on his face, the boy hung up the telephone. The shopkeeper, who was watching the incident, quickly rushed to the boy.
Shopkeeper: My dear, I really like your point of view; I like your positive attitude and I want to give you a job.
Boy: thank you.
Shopkeeper: But you were trying very hard to get the job.
Boy: No sir, I was just evaluating how well my work was going. I am the man who works in that woman's garden.
This is called self-assessment, which encourages you to carry out your responsibilities properly and shows your weaknesses.
