Tomato Story
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 10Kg 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 everyday.
Shortly, 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 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 e mail?!!' The man thought for a while and
replied, 'Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!'
