Are you checking on your Performance?

I remembered one story, it goes like this…There was once a little boy who stood by a shop counter, looking at a public telephone that was just out of his reach. Determined, he found a small container nearby, stood on it, and picked up the phone. He dialed a number, and when someone answered on the other end, he began to speak sincerely.

The boy offered his services to maintain the person’s lawn, explaining how good he was at the job. He tried to convince the person by promising extra benefits at no additional cost. When that didn’t work, he thought for a moment and then offered to work without taking any weekly leave, showing how desperately he wanted the job. Despite all his efforts, the person on the other end wasn’t convinced.

The boy quietly hung up the phone, and the shopkeeper, who had been listening to the entire conversation, felt sympathy. He approached the boy and said, “It seems like you really need a job. I can offer you a job as an assistant here at my shop.”

To the shopkeeper’s surprise, the boy looked up with a big smile and said, “Thank you so much, sir, but I already have a job maintaining lawns!”
Puzzled, the shopkeeper asked, “Then why were you calling and asking for another job?”

The boy smiled and replied, “I was just checking my performance. The lady I called is my current customer. I wanted to see if she was happy with my work or if there was anything I could do better, but I am happy that after offering so many benefits also she was not ready to change my services, which means I am performing well”

This story reminds us that true performance isn’t just about doing our job; it’s about continually striving to improve and ensuring that our efforts meet the highest standards. Even when things seem perfect, there’s always room to grow and do better...

Learning—Relearning:

When I completed 25 years in HR in, Government job, I thought I had given enough time for the profession, and decided to resign. I wanted something different and more to explore! So, 1 took a chance and established a consultation company and moved forward into the world of digital marketing, social media, and tech - a whole new world for me. All this to support my Business.
Learning was tough, like climbing a mountain of confusion. But with every online course I finished, I felt like a new person after every skill learnt - how to build website, landing pages, handle Instagram, Facebook, And run ads for my products.
Now, my own business is doing well, all thanks to taking that courageous leap. It is just a proven fact that you’re never too old to learn, and the future is waiting to be explored, no matter your age!
