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"

The difference between dream and aim -

Dream requires Soundless sleep to see

Whereas Aim Requires Sleepless Efforts to Achieve
