-MAIL & TOMATOES
(A Short Story with a Lesson!)
An unemployed man goes to try for a job with Microsoft
as a cleaner (Section: Floors, sweeping and cleaning).
The manager there arranges for an aptitude test.
After the test, the manager says: "You will be
appointed on the scale of $30 per day. Let me have
your e-mail address, so that I can send you a form to
complete and advise you where to report for work on
your first day."
Taken aback, the unemployed man protests that he is
neither in possession of a computer nor of an e-mail
address.
To this the MS manager replies: "Well, then, that
really means you virtually don't exist and can
therefore hardly expect to be employed."
Stunned, the man leaves. Not knowing where to turn and
only having about $10 left in his pocket, he decides
to buy a 10kg box of tomatoes at the supermarket.
Within less than 2 hours, he sells the tomatoes singly
at 100% profit. Repeating the process several times
more that day, he ends up with almost $100 before
going to sleep that night.
Thus it dawns on the man that he could quite easily
make a living selling tomatoes. Getting up early and
earlier every day and going to bed late and later, he
multiplies his hoard of profits in quite a short time.
Not too 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 wife and children, the
Tomato Millionaire decides to buy some life insurance.
Calling an insurance adviser, he picks an insurance
plan to fit his new circumstances.
At the end of the telephone conversation, the adviser
asks him for his e-mail address in order that he might
forward the documentation.
When the man replies that he has no e-mail, the
insurance adviser is stunned: "What, you mean to say
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? Can you imagine where
you would have been by now, if you had been connected
from the very start!"
After a moment's silence, the tomato millionaire
replied: "Sure! I would have been a cleaner 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 cleaner than you are to
becoming a millionaire.
4: If you do have a computer and e-mail, you're
already being taken to the cleaners by Microsoft.
