Microsoft & Tomatoes
A jobless man applied for the position of "office boy"
at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then
watched him cleaning the floor as a test. "You are
employed" he said."Give me your e-mail address and
I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as
date when you may start. The man replied "But I don't
have a computer, neither an email."I'm sorry", said
the HR manager,"If you don't have an email, that means
you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have
the job.The man left with no hope at all.
He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his
pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and
buy a 10 Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in
a door to door round. In less than two hours, he
succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the
operation three times, and returned home with $60. The
man realized that he can survive by this way, and
started to go everyday earlier, and return late Thus,
his money doubled or tripled every day.Shortly, he
bought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet
of delivery vehicles. 5 years later, the man is one of
the biggest food retailers in the US.
He started to plan his family's future, and decided to
have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker,
and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was
concluded,the broker asked him his email. The man
replied, "I don't have an email". The broker answered
curiously, "You don't have an email, and yet have
succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you
could have been if you had an email?!!"The man thought
for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at
Microsoft!"
Moral of the story:
1.Internet is not the solution to your life.
2. If you don't have internet, and work hard,
you can be a millionaire.
3. If you received this message by email, you
are closer to being an office boy, than a millionaire... |
