A
jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The
HR manager interviewed him, then gave him the ‘ability test”: Clean the
floor.The applicant did so. “You passed the test” the HR Manager said ”
give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application form to
fill, as well as when you will start.
The man replied, ” I don’t have a computer, nor an email”
“I’m
sorry,” said the HR manager, “if you don’t have an email, 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 US$ in
his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 Kg
crate of tomatoes.
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 US$…
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 later, he bought a cart, then a truck, and 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 chooses a protection plan.
When the
conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email address. The
man replied, “I don’t have email “. The broker answered curiously “you
don’t have 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 @ Microsoft!”
