A man comes to work as a janitor at Microsoft. The HR manager first asks him a few questions, then conducts a small test (offers to sweep part of the territory) and finally announces the decision:

— You have been accepted, leave your email address so that we can tell you where and on what day you will need to come to work for the first time.

“But I don’t even have a computer,” the man answers confusedly, “let alone an email address.”

- In this case, we cannot hire you, since you do not exist virtually.

The man comes out sad, not knowing what to do, when there are only 10 dollars left in his pocket. However, then a thought occurred to him: he goes to the market and buys 10 kg of tomatoes. Then he starts going door to door and offering goods, and in less than 2 hours he manages to double his capital. After he repeated the same thing 3 times, he already had 160 bucks in his pocket. And then he realizes that with such income it is quite possible to live without work. Every morning he leaves the house earlier and returns later, doubling or even tripling his capital every day. After some time, he buys a car, then a truck, and after some time he opens a company delivering goods to the population. 5 years later he is already the owner of a large supermarket chain. And then, thinking about the future, he suddenly decided to insure his life and the life of his entire family. After negotiations with the insurance agent, he asks him to leave an email address to which the most advantageous offer could be sent, to which the businessman, like several years ago, replies that he does not have an email address or even a computer.

“This is amazing,” the insurance agent is perplexed, “you have such a large business and don’t have an email address!” Just imagine what you would become if you had a computer!

After some thought, the businessman answers:

— I would become a janitor for Microsoft.
