Self Appraisal

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 : "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"
