A poor boy went to a big company to appear for a job interview as an office boy. The boy did not get the job because he did not have an email ID. They said without an email id, In his pocket there was only Rs.50/- remaining.

The poor boy went and bought a Kilo of apples and started selling it on his long walk back home. He went to every house on the way selling the apples. He reached home with Rs.80/- in his pocket.

The poor boy continued to do this hard work daily for many years and his business grew. Over the years his business grew and he now owns a company that exports apples all over the world.

One day during an interview he was asked by the journalist what his email ID was. He replied, “I don’t have an email id”.

The interviewer said “What? Without an email id you have made a business empire. Just imagine what you would have been with an email id”. The man thought for a while and said, “An office boy”.

1:Great I guess the boy was lucky enough to point on that but that doesn't work for all. I heard it after a very long time and really it tickled up my mind again. I would like to get such sharing again.
