THE STORY OF THE UNEMPLOYED ENTREPRENEUR

An unemployed man applies for the position of a janitor at Microsoft.

He is interviewed by the HR Chief and subjected to a battery of employment tests.

The HR Chief tells him: Congratulations, you got the job! Just give me your address so that I can send you an employment package and let you know when to start work.

The man is distraught…He has no choice but to tell the HR Chief that he has no computer and therefore no .

The HR Chief tells him that, if he has no address, he virtually does not exist and therefore cannot hold a job.

The man leaves in a desperate mood. He is down to his last $10 with no job in sight. He sees a supermarket and decides to buy a 10 lb box of strawberries.

He starts out making door to door calls, selling those strawberries by the pound. Within 2 hours, he manages to double his capital. He repeats the deal 3 times more and goes home with $60 in his pocket.

He comes to see that he can survive this way. He starts every day earlier and goes home later every day, tripling or quadrupling his money every day.

Before long, he buys a wheel barrow so he can buy and sell more strawberries. After a while, he is able to buy a truck and eventually becomes the owner of a fleet of delivery trucks with several employees working for him.

He adds other produce items to his deliveries. 5 years go by…

The man is now the owner of one of the largest food chains in the United States.

He starts thinking about the future for him and his family and decides to buy some life insurance. He calls an agent and selects a good policy. The agent asks him for his address to send him a confirmation of the policy.

The man tells him that he doesn’t have an address! That is incredible, says the agent. You have no but you built this large empire! Can you imagine where you would be if you had an address?

The man briefly thinks and then answers: I WOULD BE A TOILET CLEANER AT MICROSOFT!

Moral 1 of the story: The internet does not solve all the problems in our lives!

Moral 2 of the story: When you have no but work hard, you can become a millionaire!

Moral 3 of the story: You received this story by . Therefore you are closer to cleaning toilets than to being a millionaire!

Nevertheless, have a good day!

Don’t reply to this since I will be busy buying strawberries!!! THE END
