Check out this inspiring story of a jobless man who once applied for an office boy job and got rejected because he didn’t have any email address. But, he knew once thing for sure- never lose hope. Lets read his story.
Never Lose Hope:
A jobless man applied for the position of an ‘office boy’ at a very big company.
The employer interviewed him, then a test: clean the floor.
“You are hired.” – the employer said. “Give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application to fill, as well as when you will start.”
The man replied, “I don’t have a computer, neither an email.”
“I’m sorry,” said the employer, “If you don’t have an email address that means you do not exist. And who doesn’t exist, cannot have the job.”
The man left with no hope. He didn’t know what to do, with only $10 USD in his pocket.
He then decided to go to the supermarket, bought a 10kg tomato crate, then sold the tomatoes door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded and doubled his capital.
He repeated the operation 3 times and returned home with $60 USD. The man realized that he could survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and returned late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday. Shortly later, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

Five years later, the man’s company was one of the biggest food retailers. He started to plan his family’s future, and decided to have a life insurance.
He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied: “I don’t have an email address.”
The broker replied curiously, “You don’t have an email address, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Do you imagine what you could have done if you had an email address?”
The man paused for a while, and replied: “An office boy!”
Don’t let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
