“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".
这个人回答说:“但是我没有电脑,更没有邮箱了。”

"I'm sorry", said the HR manager." If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job."

“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 realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday.Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.

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。很短的时间里,他买了个手推车,然后卡车,接着他有了自己的运输车队。5年以后,他成了美国最大的食品零售商。

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."

他开始计划他家庭的未来,就决定买个人身保险。他打电话给保险经济人,然后选择一个保险。当谈话结束后保险经济人问他的邮箱地址,他说:“我没有邮箱”.

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!"

保险经济人很吃惊的说:“你没有邮箱都可以成功的建立一个帝国,你能想象如果你有邮箱的话会怎么样吗?”这个人想了一下然后回答:“是的,我会成为微软的办公室文员”
