Office Boy Or Business Man

**shadenights** · 17th June 2008, 05:42 PM

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, 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
Internet /email is not the solution to OUR life.
If you don't have internet / email THTS DOSTNT matter , but work hard, make us be a millionaire.

GREAT STORY
Think and do
You could spend years and years figuring out how to take three steps at once. Or you could simply take one step, and then the next, and then the next.

Being able to think things through is a tremendously valuable skill. But don't let all that thinking prevent you from doing.

Sometimes it pays to think of a more efficient or effective or faster way to complete the task. Other times you're better off when you just go ahead and do it.

Analyzing what you must do can be helpful. Yet analysis by itself won't get the job completed.

After you think it through, go ahead and get it done. Put your clever thinking into action, and you'll have something of tangible value to show for it.

Put your mind to work and you'll create great ideas. Then put those ideas to work with your efforts, and bring them successfully to life.
