An Office Boy

A jobless man applied for the position of
‘office boy’ at a very big company.
The employer interviewed him, then a
test: clean the floor.
“You are hired.” – the employer 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. He didn’t know
what to do, with only $10 USD in his pocket.
He then decided to go to the supermarket,
bought a 10kg tomato crate, then sold the
tomatoes door to door. In less than two hours,
he succeeded and doubled his capital.
He repeated the operation 3 times and
returned home with $60 USD. The man realized
that he could survive by this way, and started
to go everyday earlier, and returned late. Thus,
his money doubled or tripled everyday. Shortly
later, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then
he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.
Five years later, the man’s company was one of
the biggest food retailers. 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 replied curiously, “You don’t have
an email, and yet have succeeded to build an
empire. Do you imagine what you could have
done if you had an email?”
The man paused for a while, and replied: “An
office boy!”
