An unemployed man is desperate to support his family. His wife
>> watches TV all day and his three teenage kids have dropped out of
>> high school to hang around with the local toughs. He applies for
>> a janitor's job at a large firm and easily passes an aptitude
>> test.
>>
>> The human resources manager tells him, "You will be hired at
>> minimum wage of $5.15 an hour. Let me have your e-mail address so
that
>> we can get you in the loop. Our system will automatically e-mail
>> you all the forms and advise you when to start and where to report
>> on your first day."
>>
>> Taken back, the man protests that he is poor and has neither
>> a computer nor an e-mail address. To this the manager replies,
>> " You must understand that to a company like ours that means that
>> you virtually do not exist. Without an e-mail address you can hardly
>> expect to be employed by a high-tech firm. Good day."
>>
>> Stunned, the man leaves. Not knowing where to turn and having
>> only $10 in his wallet, he walks past a farmers' market and sees
>> a stand selling 25lb crates of beautiful red tomatoes. He buys a
>> crate,carries it to a busy corner and displays the tomatoes. In less
>> than 2 hours he sells all the tomatoes and makes 100% profit.
Repeating
>> the process several times more that day, he ends up with almost $100
>> and arrives home that night with several bags of groceries for his
>> family.
>>
>> During the night he decides to repeat the tomato business the next
day.
By
>> the end of the week he is getting up early every day and working into
the
>> night. He multiplies his profits quickly.
>>
>> Early in the second week he acquires a cart to transport several boxes
>> of tomatoes at a time, but before a month is up he sells the cart to
>> buy a broken-down pickup truck.
>>
>> At the end of a year he owns three old trucks. His two sons
>> have left their neighborhood gangs to help him with the tomato
>> business, his wife is buying the tomatoes, and his daughter is
>> taking night courses at the community college so she can keep books
for
>> him.
>>
>> By the end of the second year he has a dozen very nice used
>> trucks and employs fifteen previously unemployed people, all
>> selling tomatoes.
>>
>> He continues to work hard. Time passes and at the end of the
>> fifth year he owns a fleet of nice trucks and a warehouse which
>> his wife supervises, plus two tomato farms that the boys manage.
>> The tomato company's payroll has helped hundreds of homeless and
>> grossed a million dollars.
>>
>> Planning for the future, he decides to buy some life insurance.
>> Consulting with an insurance adviser, he picks an insurance
>> plan to fit his new circumstances. Then the adviser asks him for
>> his e-mail address in order to send the final documents
>> electronically.
>>
>> When the man replies that he doesn't have time to mess with a
>> computer and has no e-mail address, the insurance man is stunned,
>> "What, you don't have e-mail? No computer? No internet? Just
>> think where you would be today if you'd had all of that five years
>> ago!"
>>
>> "Ha!" snorts the man. "If I'd had e-mail five years ago I
>> would be sweeping floors at Microsoft and making $5.15 an hour."
>>
>> Which brings us to the moral: Since you got this story by
>> e-mail, you're probably closer to being a janitor than a
>> millionaire!
