Dear all,

A small story for all Hr people.

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

every day. 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 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!"

By the way, if I am not mistaken, this man is none other than Warren Buffet.

Moral of the story:

M1 - Internet is not the solution to your life.

M2 - If you don't have internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.

M3 - If you received this message by email, you are closer to being an office boy, than a millionaire. .........

Have a great day!!!

Pls Note: - Do not forward this email to me back, I'm

closing all my

email addresses & going to sell tomatoes!!!

Excellent story. It reminded me of a book which stated that practical intelligence is more important than creative or analytical intelligence. Most entreuprenuers are not MBAs but employ them.
