A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at a big firm.
The HR manager (interview) him, then a test: clean the floor. “You are hired(雇佣),” he said, “give me your email address, I’ll send you the application to fill.” The man replied “I don’t have a computer, an email”.
“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “that means you do not exist. And _____ doesn’t exist cannot have the job.” The man left 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 buy a 10 KG tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he _____ (success) in doubling his capital(资本). He repeated the operation 3 times, and returned home with $60.
5 years later, the man is one of the (big) food retailers(零售商) in the US. He started to plan his family’s future, and decided to have a life insurance.
He called insurance broker(保险经纪人), 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 replied (curious), “You don’t have an email, and yet have established an empire! Do you imagine you could have been if you had an email?The man thought for a while, and replied: “An office boy!”
