A young man applied for the job of the "office boy" at Microsoft．The HR manager interviewed him．And then he watched him cleaning the floor as a test．
"You've passed the test．" He said， "Give me your email address and I'll send you the application to fill in，as well as when you may start your work．"
The man replied， "But I don't have a computer or an email．"
"I'm sorry．" said the HR manager， "We are computer company．We can't hire a man without an email．"
The man left with no hope at all．He didn't know what to do，with only 10 dollars in his pocket．He decided to go to the supermarket and buy a box of 10 kg tomatoes．He then sold the tomatoes in a door-to-door way．In less than two hours，he doubled his money．He did this three more times，and returned home with 120 dollars．
The man realized that he could make a living in this way，and started to go every day earlier，and return late．His money doubled or tripped every day．Shortly，he bought a cart，then a truck，and then he had his own company selling different kinds of foods．Five years later，the man is one of the biggest food sellers in the US．
One day after an interview with a TV reporter，the reporter asked him for his email．The man replied， "I don't have an email．" The reporter asked curiously， "You don't have an email，and yet you are so successful．Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email？ " The man thought for a while and replied， "Yes，I'd be an 'office boy' at Microsoft!"
