A jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him, then gave him a test, which was to clean the floor.
一个失业汉前往微软应征成为办公室助理。人力资源部经理面试他,并要求他清理地面。
After that the HR manager said, "You are engaged, give me your e-mail address, and I'll send you the application to fill, as well as when you will start".
之后,那位经理说:“你被录取了,请你给我你的电邮地址,我们将会传给你要填的表格,并通知你何时可来上班。”
The man replied, "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".
他答道:“我没有电脑,更没有电邮”
人力资源部经理说:“真抱歉,如果你没有电邮,这意味你并非在世。一个不在世的人,不可能有工作的。”
The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only 10US$ in his pocket. The man then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 Kg tomato crate. He 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 60US$. The man realized that he could survive this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled and tripled day by day. Shortly later, he bought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.
他带著失望的心情离开。身上只有10美金,不知如何是好。最后决定前往超市购买10公斤的西红柿(蕃茄),然后沿门挨户去贩卖。不到两个小时,卖个清光,本金也变成双倍了。他重复做了三次,然后带了60美金回家。他发现可以如此维持生活,从此早出晚归去贩卖西红柿。他的钱一天一天倍增下去,很快地买了小推车,然后买了小卡车,后来有了一车队的运输卡车。
5 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 get life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him for his e-mail. The man replied: "I don't have an email".
五年之后,他成为美国数一数二的食品零售商。他为了家庭的将来,打算为自己投保。他找了一个保险代理,并选了一份保单。成交之后,保险代理向他要电邮地址。他没有电邮地址。
The broker replied curiously, "You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Do you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?" The man thought for a while, and replied: "an office boy at Microsoft!"
该代理非常惊讶:“你没有电邮地址,尚可拥有商业王国。如果你有电邮地址,试想你将会如何?”
他沉思了一会道:“微软公司里的一名办公室助理”
The moral of this story:
1 Internet is not the solution to your life.
2 If you don't have Internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire too.
3 If you received this message by email, you are probably closer to be an office boy rather than a millionaire, ha ha...................
这个故事告诉我们
1 网际网络不是你生活的解决方案。
2 如果你没有网际网络,却勤奋工作,你有可能成为百万富翁。
3 如果你收到这则电邮,你成为办公室助理的机率比成为百万富翁的机率高。
谁能笑到最后?
