The Tomato Story

The Tomato Story

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, 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 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 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 is not the solution to your life.                                
                                                                           
 Moral 2                                                                   
 If you don't have Internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.
