Dedication to work.. Very inspirational

    Here is something that I got via Email and I thought that fellow DP members would love it.


    A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton
    and pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed on to the carton
    so that he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded
    to punch in seven digits (phone numbers).

    The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:

    Boy: "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting lawn at your Garden?"

    Woman: (at the other end of the phone line): "I already have
    someone to cut the lawn."

    Boy: "Lady, I will cut lawn for half the price of the person who
    cuts lawn now."

    Woman: I'm very satisfied with the person who is presently
    cutting the lawn.

    Boy: (with more perseverance): "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."

    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 I 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!"
