A jobless man applied for the position of ‘officeboy’ at a very big company.
The employer interviewed him, then a test: clean thefloor.
“You arehired.” – the employer said. ”Give me your email address, and I’ll
send you theapplication to fill, as well as when you will start.”
The man replied, “I don’t have a computer, neither anemail.”
“I’m sorry,”said the employer, “if you don’t have an email that means you do
not exist. Andwho 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 a10kg 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 homewith $60 USD. The man
realized that he could survive by this way, and startedto go everyday earlier,
and returned late. Thus, his money doubled or tripledeveryday. Shortly later,
he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had hisown fleet of delivery
vehicles.
Five years later, the man’s company was one of thebiggest food retailers. He
started to plan his family’s future, and decided tohave a life insurance.
He called an insurance broker and chose a protectionplan. When the conversation
was concluded, the broker asked him his email. Theman replied: “I don’t have an
email.”
The broker replied curiously, “You don’t have anemail, and yet have succeeded
to build an empire. Do you imagine what you couldhave been if you had an email?”
The man paused for a while, and replied: “An office boy!”
My note- It wasabout a decade back. An old lady having a large amount in
savings bank account wantedto make a fixed deposit in a nationalised bank.
She got filled up the form, presentedin the counter. Then the office staff in
the counter asked, what is the/yourEmail ID?. She was not knowing what actually
the Email ID. Office staffsympathetically told her- call some of your relatives
and ask for their email ID and recollect the relative.The staff got the email
ID talking to them, and then continued the preparationof the TDR receipt. I was
waiting behind the lady for the renewal of my TDR. Without entering Email ID,
she could not proceed for thepreparation of receipt. In the software, there was
no skippingprovision. It still continues. By a patchskipping can be introduced.
Q2 My deadfather is calling me to go with him in my dreams. What does it
mean?
A2 BaphilinMyrthong,12h
According to our ancestors they said that if you sawa dead person in your dream
and they called you thatmeans,They want us to go along with them in the other
side and if we arewilling to go with them, then we might have a short time in
our present life orour time is nearly come.
It's like we are giving our self to begin our deadjourney life with them...But
if we refuse to go then we still have a chance tolive in our present life.
And it is true because one of my neighbors daughtershe dreamed about the same
dream that you've mention in the above statement andshe's willing to go with
her deceased father in her dream, and about a weekafter we learned that she
passed away.
My note-Need not call, if one see his late fatheror Late mother frequently in
dreams andone is sufficiently aged, it is told that it is an indication that
the personis going to die soon. It is a belief among Brahmins in central Kerala.
