This businessman doesn't need a computer and email address
A man walked into Microsoft for a janitor job.
They asked him some questions, gave him a few basic tests, and finally said:
"Congratulations, you’re hired. Just leave us your email, and we’ll send you your work schedule."
" Actually… I don’t have a computer, let alone an email," the man admitted.
The HR manager frowned: "I’m sorry, sir, but if you don’t have email, that means you don’t really exist in our system. And email communication is essential for how Microsoft operates."
The man left disappointed, with only 30 dollars in his pocket. But instead of feeling sorry for himself, he bought 20 pounds of apples from a farmer, walked to a busy street corner, and started selling “fresh eco-friendly fruit.”
Within a few hours, he doubled his money. By the end of the day, he’d multiplied it tenfold. That’s when it hit him — maybe he didn’t need a boss at all.
Time passed. He bought a small truck, opened a fruit stand, then a small grocery store. Five years later, he owned a whole chain of supermarkets.
One day, while setting up insurance for his business, the agent asked: "Could I get your email so we can send you all the best offers?"
"I don’t have a computer. Or email," the businessman replied.
The agent blinked, amazed: "Wait… You built this entire empire without a computer? Can you imagine what you could’ve achieved if you had one?!"
The man smiled: " Yeah. I’d be working as a janitor at Microsoft."
