Wise word Wednesday: No email. Sometimes the very thing that held you back can be your motivation for success.
\nA jobless man applied for the position of \"office boy\" at a very big company.
\nThe employer interviewed him, then a test: clean the floor.
\n\u201cYou are hired.\u201d \u2013 the employer said. \u201dGive me your email address, and I\u2019ll send you the application to fill, as well as when you will start.\u201d
\nThe man replied, \u201cI don\u2019t have a computer, neither an email.\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u201d said the employer, \u201cif you don\u2019t have an email , you cannot have the job.\u201d
\nThe man left with no hope. He didn\u2019t know what to do, with only $10 USD in his pocket.
\nHe then decided to go to the supermarket, bought a 10 lb 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.
\nFive years later, the man\u2019s company was one of the biggest food retailers. He started to plan his family\u2019s 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: \u201cI don\u2019t have an email.\u201d
\nThe broker replied curiously, \u201cYou don\u2019t have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Do you imagine what position you could have if you had an email?\u201d
\nThe man paused for a while, and replied: \u201cAn office boy!\u201d
\nToday don\u2019t be discouraged if something is not in your favor today. Better opportunities are always waiting ahead. No email.
