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 $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 Kg crate of tomatoes.
He then sold the tomatoes in a door-to-door round. In less than two hours, He succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 US$.
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 at Microsoft!"
