A story about tomatoes
A story about tomatoes
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.
'You are employed' he 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 inhis pocket.He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kgtomato 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 everyday.
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 e mail?' The man thought for a while and replied,'Yes,I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!'
译者说:还好,生词只有两三个.弄好了.并不是照着原文死板地翻译的,你可以看得出来.呵呵.
一个没有工作的人去微软应聘当办公室勤杂工,人力资源总监面试了他然后看着他做了测验——清洁地板,之后总监说:你被录用了.把你的电子邮箱地址给我吧,我会给你发一份申请表,到时候你填一下,填完了就可以来开始上班了.
这个人回答:可是我没有电脑,更不用说电子邮箱了
不好意思;总监说,如果你没有电子邮箱,那说明你几乎是不存在的.不能存在被定位的人,不能得到到这份工作.
这个人就绝望的离开了.他不知道该怎么办,口袋里也只有10美元了.他准备去超市买一箱10公斤的土豆.
接下来他就挨家挨户的卖土豆.差不多两个小时了,他成功的把他挣到了两倍的本钱.他这样子做了三次,然后带着60美元回家了.
这个人觉得自己可以以此为生,于是开始每天早出晚归努力挣钱.就这样,他的钱每天都两倍、三倍的增长,他买了一辆手推车,接着换成卡车,再接着他就有了自己的运货车队.
五年以后,这个人成为了美国最大的视频零售商……
他开始为自己的家庭未来制定计划,准备办理一个人身保险.
他联系到了一个保险经纪人,然后选了一种保险方案.
当事情商量好了以后经纪人问他要电子邮箱.
这个人回答:我没有那东西.
这个经纪人很好奇的问道:你连电子邮箱都没有,却还成功的建立了自己的商业帝国.你想想要是你有电子邮箱的话你该会是什么样啊!?
这个人想了一会儿回答道:是啊,要是那样的话,我八成会是微软的办公室勤杂工!
