A jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft.
The HR manager interviewed him, then asked him to perform a test: clean the floor.
After a while, the floor was shining.
"You are hired!" the HR manager said. "Give me your e-mail address, and I'll send you the application to fill out, as well as when you will start."
The jobless man replied, " I don't have a computer, neither an e-mail address."
"I'm sorry," said the HR manager. "If you don't have an e-mail address, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job!"
The jobless 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 10lb 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 later.
Thus, his money doubles or triples every day.
Shortly later, he bought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.
Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the country.
He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance.
He called an insurance broker, and choose a protection plan.
When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him for his e-mail address.
The man replied, "I don't have an e-mail address!"
The broker replied curiously, "You don't have e-mail, and yet you have succeeded to build an empire! Do you imagine what you could have been if you had e-mail?!!"
The man thought for a while, and replied, "Sure, an office boy at Microsoft!"
The moral of this 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 read this message online, then you are closer to be an office boy, rather than a millionaire...
Have a great day!
P.S. Do not reply to me, I am going to sell tomatoes! :D
