A jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft.
The HR
manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.
"You
are employed" he said. "Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you
the
application to fill in, as well as date when you may start. The man
replied
"But 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."
The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only
$10
in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg
tomato crate. He then 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 $60. The man realized
that he
can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return
late.
Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a
cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery
vehicles.
5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the
US.
He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life
insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection
plan.
When
the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his email. The
man
replied, "I don't have an email." The broker answered curiously, "You
don't
have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. 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!"
Moral of the story :
M1 - Internet is not the solution to your life.
M2 - If you don't have internet, and work hard, you can be a
millionaire.
Have a great day!!!

Read This one
"Dreams float on an impatient wind, A wind that wants to create a new order. An order of strength and thundering of fire." - from a poem written by Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
But Dr Kalam’s journey to the Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidential Palace) at Raisina Hills in New Delhi from a poor hamlet on the seashores of the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu is a miracle in every sense.
During his early years Aavul Pakkir Jainulabdeen [Abdul Faqeer Zainul Abideen] Abdul Kalam had to pass through extremely difficult times. Kalam was born on 15 October, 1931 at Rameshwaram in a poor Muslim family of boatmen. To fend for himself and his family young Kalam used to sell newspapers at the Rameshwaram railway station. With great difficulty and in near penury Kalam completed his school years. He joined St. Joseph’s College in Tiruchi for B.Sc. degree in physics, mathematics and chemistry in 1950.
Soon Kalam realised that physics was not his cup of tea and wanted to do aeronautical engineering instead. Though being selected for admission at the Madras Institute of Technology it was still difficult for him to complete his admission formalities as he lacked the required amount for admission fee and his poor father Jainulabdeen [Zainul Abideen] was clearly not in a position to shell out rupees 1,000, a large sum by the standards of those days and his background.
Kalam leads a very simple, puritanical life. He does not read newspapers but is at home with the Internet. He has remained a bachelor not out of choice but because he could not spare time and take leave for the required formalities. As a hindsight he says that as a bachelor he has been able to devote himself fully to his mission. He is a known workaholic who could at times work round the clock. His normal workday is 16 hours even today. He believes that nothing is impossible in this world.
Reminiscing a vivid emotive account in his autobiography, Wings of Fire, Dr Kalam recounts, “At that time, my sister Zohra, stood behind me, mortgaging her gold bangles and chain. I was deeply moved by her determination to see me educated and by her faith in my abilities.” Eventually Kalam completed his degree in aeronautical engineering from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and never looked back.
