TOMATO

I like Tomatoes.
I use it almost every day for my usual Salad,
for making sauce and even my unusual Tomato Jam.
People all over the world have made use of
Tomatoes as well in more ways
than one can imagine.

Here is an interesting story about Tomatoes
and how it changed a man's life.

*****

A jobless man applied for a position as 'Office Boy' at Microsoft.
The HR Manager interviewed him and watched him clean the floor as part
of the test. "You are employed, " he said. "Give me your email address and I'll send you
the application form to fill in, as well as the date when you may start."

The man replied,
"But I don't have an email, much less a Computer."

"I am sorry," said the HR Manager.
"If you don't have an email address means
you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have a 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 bought a
10-kg. Tomato Crate. He then sold the Tomatoes
in a door-to-door round.
In less than two hours, he was able to double his capital.

He repeated the opeartion three times, and went home with $60.

The man realized that he can survive via this way,
and started to go everyday earlier, and return late.
Thus, his money doubled, even tripled every day.

Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck,
and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

Five years later, the man has become one
of the biggest food retailers in the U.S.
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 addy.

The man replied, "I don't have an email."

The broker answered curiously,
"You don't have an email,
and yet you 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, too, can be a Millionaire!
• M3: If you are reading these via the internet, then you are closer to being an office boy/girl....than being a Millionaire!

>>>>>>

...AND PLEASE.....
do not bother to reply, nor ask me anything.....
because I am mulling on closing my internet connections

and go sell Tomatoes, instead!

Cheers!
