MICROSOFT JANITOR
An unemployed man goes to try for a job with Microsoft as a janitor.
The manager there arranges for an aptitude test. After the test, the
manager says, "You'll be hired at a salary of $30 per day. Let me have your
e-mail address, so that I can send you a form to complete and tell you where to
report for work each day."
Taken aback, the unemployed man states that he is neither in possession
of a computer nor of an e-mail address.
To this the manager replies, "Well, then, that means that you virtually don't exist and therefore cannot expect to
be employed."
Stunned, the man leaves. Not knowing where to turn and only having about
$10 left, he decides to buy a 10-lb box of tomatoes at the supermarket. In
less than two hours, he sells the tomatoes singly at 100% profit. Repeating
the process several times more that day, he ends up with almost $100. And
thus it dawns on the man that he could quite easily make a living selling
tomatoes. Eventually he multiplies his profits manyfold in quite a short
time.
Not long thereafter, he acquires a cart to transport several dozen boxes
of tomatoes, only to have to trade it in again shortly afterwards on a
pick-up truck. By the end of the second year, he is the owner of a fleet of
pick-up trucks and manages a staff of a hundred former unemployed people, all
selling tomatoes.
Considering the future of his family, he decides to buy some life
insurance. Calling an insurance agent, he picks an insurance policy to fit his new
circumstances. At the end of the telephone conversation, the agent asks
for his e-mail address in order that he might forward the documentation.
When the man replies that he has no e-mail, the agent is stunned, "What,
you don't even have e-mail? How on earth have you managed to amass such
wealth without the Internet, e-mail and e-commerce? Just imagine where you
would have been by now, if you had been connected from the very start!"
After a moment's silence, the millionaire replied, "I would've been a
janitor at Microsoft!"
Morals of the story:
- 1: The Internet, e-mail and e-commerce do not need to rule your life.
- 2: If you don't have E-mail, but work hard, you can still become a
millionaire.
- 3: Seeing that you got this story via E-mail, you're probably closer to
becoming a janitor than you are to becoming a millionaire.
- 4: If you do have a computer and E-mail, you've already been taken to
the
cleaners by Microsoft.
