   A Jobless man applied 1 for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.


  一个失业的人去微软申请办公室文员的职位,人事经理面试他,并且看着他打扫地板,作为测试。
  "You are employed" he said, " Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start."
  “你被录用了。”人事经理说:“给我你的邮箱地址,我会把申请表发给你填,发给你的同时也意味着你开始上班。”
  The man replied :"But I don't have a computer, neither an email."

  “我很抱歉”,人事经理说:“如果你没有邮箱,那就意味着你不能生存,一个不能生存的人当然不能有工作。”
  The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided 2 to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate 3.
  这个人不抱希望的离开了,他不知道要做什么,口袋里只有10美元,他决定去超市买了10公斤西红柿。

  接着他在附近门挨着门卖西红柿,不到两小时,他成功的将他的资金翻了一倍,他又做了3个小时,到回家时身上已经有60块钱了。
  The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled 4 everyday.
  这个人认识到他可以用这种方式生存,以后他每天起的很早,回家的很晚,因此,他的钱每天都翻两三倍。

  他打电话给保险经济人,然后选了一个保险。
  When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his email. The man replied:"I don't have an email.'" The broker answered curiously:"You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e mail?!!" The man thought for a while and replied:"'Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"
