I found the piece below on the internet and I hope it will inspire someone to take that bold step they have been longing to take despite the challenges they might be facing.
"A jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft.
The HR manager interviewed him, then gave him a test: clean the floor. The man passed the test with flying colors.
"You
are hired," HR manager informed the applicant, "give me your e-mail
address, and I'll send you the application for employment, as well as
the date you should report for work.
The man replied " I don't have a computer, or an email!"
"I'm
sorry," said the HR manager. "If you don't have an email, that means
you do not exist. And we cannot hire persons who do not exist."
The man was very disappointed.
He didn't know what to do. He only had $10 with him. Once that is spent, he won't have any money to buy any food.
He went to the supermarket and bought a crate of tomatoes with his $10.
He went from door to door and sold the tomatoes in less than two hours. He doubled his money.
He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60. He realized that he can survive
this way. He started to go everyday earlier, and return late.
this way. He started to go everyday earlier, and return late.
He
doubled or tripled his money every day. Soon, he bought a cart, then a
truck. In a very short time, he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.
Five
years later, the man became 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.
At the end of the conversation, the broker asked him for his email address.
The man replied: ' I don't have an email.'
The
broker was dumbfounded. "You don't have an email, and yet have
succeeded in building an empire. Can you imagine what you could have
been if you had an email?," he exclaimed.
The man thought for a while, and replied, "an office boy at Microsoft!"
"If
you just lost your Job or Just failed an Interview Don't worry be
Optimistic..... Good days are on the way and something better is
reserved for you."
