An unemployed man with not much education applies for a position as a toilet cleaner at Microsoft.
He went for an interview and the HR lady ask for his email address so Microsoft can send the employment terms and day to report for work.
The man is worried and replies that he has no computer and therefore has no email address. The lady tells him that without a email address it will be difficult to be selected.
The man goes home dejected and wonders how to pass the day on his last $10 note. Passing by the fruit shop he decides to buy 5 kg of strawberries.
As he walks home he make some house calls to sell the strawberries which otherwise he can't finish. After a couple of hours he double his capital so goes back to the shop to repeat the process 3 more times. In the end he goes home with $60 in his pocket.
He comes to realise that he can survive this way and so he start every day earlier and comes home every day later selling strawberries and additional products. So he triple his money every day.
A short time later he buys a push cart which he soon upgrades to a small truck and after 5 years he is the owner of a fleet of delivery trucks. And soon enough he becomes the owner of one of the largest food chain in the USA.
Now that money is no longer a problem he decides to buy insurance for his family and calls an agent to discuss a good policy. The agent asks him for his email address to send the proposed policy.
The man unabashedly tells him he doesn't have an email address. The agent was surprised that this rich man has no email address and comments "you have no email address and yet nevertheless built this large empire. Can you imagine where you would be if you had an email address".
The man pause for a moment and say "I would be a toilet cleaner at Microsoft"
You read this story and probably have an email address. Therefore you are closer to become a toilet cleaner than to be a millionaire.
