Attitude of life
Monday, May 21, 2007
Attitude of life should be like this.......... 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.
HR MGR 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 every day. 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 email?!!'
The man thought for a while and replied, 'Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!'
Moral of the story:
M1 - Internet is not the solution to your life.
M2 - If you don't have internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.
M3 - If you are reading this message on blog, you are closer to being an office boy, than a millionaire..........
Hi Soni, you have put forth a very interesting point. Irrespective of the reality of this story, the moral of the story is an important lesson to be learnt.
If we see through wider perspective into our daily lives there are many situations which can show us wrong application of technology. Sometimes we tend to get so much possessed by technology that we try to solve each and every problem by using technology etc.
This is very true for those who are technology addicted, spend more time chatting instead of making real friends outside, or try to search google and forum (and spend huge amount of time in hrs)even if they know that the solution can be found out by just refering a single book or asking some person (which is a matter of minutes), many more examples.
It is similar to "Eat to Live" and "Live to Eat"
Somewhat same about Technology and Success, if you can reprase it properly
"Success only through Technology" and "Use technology to get Success"
