A jobless man applied for the position of ‘office boy’ at a very
big firm. The Employer interviewed him, then a test: clean the floor. “You are
hired” he said, give me your email 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 Employer, 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 US
in his pocket.
He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 KG 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 3
times, and returned home with $60 US. The man realized that he can survive by
this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money
doubles or triples every day. Shortly later, 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 chooses 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 replied curiously, you don’t have
an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Do you imagine what you
could have been if you had an email? The man thought for a while, and
replied: an office boy!
