Self Appraisal

Self Appraisal: 1) A little boy went into a drug 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 seven digits. The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation: The boy asked, "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn? The woman replied, "I already have someone to cut my lawn.Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now." replied boy. The woman responded

that she was very satisfied with the person who was presently cutting her lawn. The little boy found more perseverance and offered, "Lady, 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 all, 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 with the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to! 2) Once upon a time a Washer man was bringing up two donkeys. Let us say Donkey-A and Donkey-B.Donkey-A felt it was very energetic and could do better than the other. It always tried to pull the washer man's attraction over it by taking more load and walking fast in front of him. Innocent

Donkey-B is normal, so it will walk normal, irrespective of the

waterman's presence. After a period of time, Washer man started pressurizing

Donkey-B to be like Donkey-A. But Donkey-B unable to walk fast, got

continuous punishment from washer man. It was crying and

told personally to Donkey-A "Dear friend, only we two are here, why to

compete with each other....we can carry equal load at normalspeed ". That made Donkey-A all the more energetic and next day it told to washer man that it can carry more load and even it can run fast also.Obviously happier

washer man looked at Donkey-B.., his BP raised and he started kicking Donkey-B. Next day with smile, Donkey-A carried more load and started running fast. But it was breathtaking for Donkey-B and it couldn't act that way....But the washer man was frustrated, so he harassed Donkey-B terribly, and finally it fell down hopelessly.Then Donkey-A felt itself as a supreme and happily started carrying more

load with great speed. But now the Load of the Donkey-B is also being

carried by Donkey-A., and still it has to run fast. For some period it

did, finally due to fatigue it got tired and started feeling

the pain. But washer man expected more from Donkey-A. It also tried

best, but couldn't cope up with his owners demand. The Washer man got angry with Donkey-A also and started harassing to take more load... Donkey-A was crying for long

time and then tried its best... But it couldn't meet the owner's satisfaction. Finally the day came when due to frustration the washer man killed Donkey-A and went for searching some other Donkeys. Its an endless story....... ...But the moral of the Story in Corporate and social life is......,"Think all colleagues are same and that everyone is capable.... Always Share the Load equally..... Don't ever act smart in

front of your Boss and never try for getting over-credit. ..Don't feel happy when your colleague is under pressure.. "It doesn't matter if u r A or B, for the Boss u shall be always DONKEY And most importantly, Work Hard, but Work Cleverly.... . A thought : "There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self." - Aldous Huxley

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

Look

here—we shall die! Bear this in mind always, and then the spirit within

will wake up. Only then will meanness vanish from you, practicality in

work will come, you will get new vigor in mind and body, and those who

come in contact with you will also feel that they have really got

something uplifting from you.

- Swami Vivekananda, Complete Works, 5:329
