    A jobless man wanted very much to have the position(位置) of "office boy" at Microsoft. The HR manager asked him questions and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. "You have passed the test," he said. "Give your e-mail address and I'll tell you the date when you may start by email." The man replied, "But I don't have a computer, neither an e-mail." "I'm sorry, "said the HR manager. "If you don't have an e-mail, that means you are not living, and anyone who isn't living cannot have the job."

    The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do with only 10 dollars left. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars. He started to go early every day and returned home late, doing business like this. Five years later, he was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商) in the USA.

    One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mail. He said, "I haven't got one." His friend couldn't believe his ears. "Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?" The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"
