EMAIL ADDRESS

EMAIL ADDRESS

A jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed
him, and then gave him the ability test: Clean the floor. The applicant did so. "You passed the test"
the HR Manager said, “give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application form to fill, as
well as when you will start”. The man replied, “I don't have a computer or an email”. I'm sorry, said the
HR manager, “if you don't have an email, means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist cannot have
the job”
The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only 10 US$ in his pocket. He then
decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 Kg crate of tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes in a
door-to-door round. In less than two hours, He succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the
operation three times, and returned home with 60 US$. The man realized that he can survive by this
way, and started to go every day earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every
day.
Shortly later, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. 5 years
later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers in the US.
He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance
broker, and chooses a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him
his email address. The man replied, "I don't have email ". The broker answered curiously "you don't
have email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been
if you had an email?" The man thought for a while and replied" Yes, I'd be an office boy at
Microsoft!!

INFORMATION ATTITUDE

'We live in the digital age, the age of information'. Such a cliché; not a day goes by when we don't read this sentence in a blog post, a newspaper article, or a simple Tweet. But really, attitudes toward information sharing differ from a place to another. While all of us may want access to information, or in it's more raw form, data, we are not always prepared to be the ones to share it. Institutions in some countries are willing to reach out to a global audience and communicate the knowledge they have gathered over their lifespan: the most famous perhaps being the edX initiative launched by the joint effort of MIT and Harvard University. The Khan Academy is another such online initiative wherein you can, as their website says, 'learn anything for free'.This is 'real' information sharing: sharing lectures, having discussions and even getting your queries clarified all in real-time is a mind boggling concept. And to me, nothing short of a sc...
