A man comes to work as a janitor at Microsoft. In the HR department they ask him questions, conduct tests and finally tell him:
- Congratulations, you have been accepted. Leave your e-mail - we will notify you about our work schedule.
“Actually, I don’t even have a computer,” the man admits, “and even less so an e-mail.”
- Unfortunately, then we cannot employ you. You are virtually absent, but prompt communication with all Microsoft employees via e-mail and coordination of effective teamwork is a key issue in our company.
There is nothing to do, the person leaves and begins to think about how he can earn money for a computer. In your pocket - $30. He buys 10 kg of apples from a farmer, goes out onto a busy street and sells “tasty and healthy eco-products.” In a few hours, his starting capital doubles, and after 6 hours - 10 times. Then he realizes that at this rate he can live without an employer.
Time passes, a person buys a car, first opens a small stall, then a store, and after 5 years he is the owner of a supermarket chain. And so he comes to insure his business, and the insurance agent asks him to leave his e-mail for lucrative offers. Our businessman, like many years ago, answers that he has neither e-mail nor a computer.
- Simply amazing! – the insurer is surprised, – such a huge business – and there isn’t even a personal computer! What would you achieve if you had it?!
To which the businessman replies:
“Then I would become a janitor at Microsoft.”
