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 Mbare Musika and bought a
10Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round.
In less than 2 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, then he had his own fleet of delivery
vehicles. 5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in
the Harare.
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.
Wen the
conversation was concluded, d 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! ".
Moral of the story:
1. No one qualification is the solution to your life.
2. You may not have what they need, but you have all you need to succeed..
