A beautiful story

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

This is Life !!!!!!!!

When there is no friend,
When life is on the dead end,
When world is not a paradise,
When your confidence dies,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

When things don't go right,
When there is no ray of light,
And its too hard to survive,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

When there is competition to face,
When you are lagging behind in the race,
When you've lost faith in God,
When you're betrayed by a fraud,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

When others don't respect you,
When you're not amongst the admirable few,
When for a question, you can't find a solution,
When all you're sure about, is confusion,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

When your destination is miles apart,
When you don't know where to start,
When all you see around is pain,
When your hardwork is in vain,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

Even though all this happens
just have faith in self & face the life with smile,
Things will surely change one day
Because as said "THIS IS LIFE ... !
