What if you didn't have e-mail?

A jobless man applied for the post 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 the date when you may start"

The man replied" But I don't have a computer, neither an e-mail."
"I'm sorry," said the HR maanger. "If you don't have an e-mail, 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 10 lb tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60.

The man realised that he could survive this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return later. Thus, his money doubled and tripled everday.

Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. 5 years later, then man was 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 for his e-mail address.


The man replied, "I don't have an email". The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an e-mail, and yet you 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!"


Moral of the story

Moral 1 - Internet/e-mail is not the solution to your life.

Moral 2 - If you don't have an internet-email, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.

Moral 3 - If you received this message by e-mail, you are probably already an office boy/girl, and not any closer to being a Billionaire....!!
