A jobless man applied for the position of ‘office boy’ at Microsoft. The
HR manager interviewed him, and then gave him a test, which was to clean the floor. After that the HR manager said “You are engaged, give me your e-mail address, and I’ll send you the application to fill, as well as
when you will start”.
The man replied, “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 he, 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
US$10 in his pocket. The man then decided to go to the supermarket and
bought a 10Kg tomato crate. He sold the tomatoes in a door-to-door round.
In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated
the operation three times, and returned home with 60 US$. The man
realized that he could survive this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled and tripled day by day. (more…)
