My sister had forwarded an interesting email to me a few days ago. The email is talking about a jobless man who was applying for an “office boy” job in a famous software company.

He was initially accepted by the HR manager who then asked the jobless man to give him his email address and he will send him the application form to fill in as well as to notify him the date to start work.

The jobless man told the HR manager that he didn’t have an email address. Guess what? The HR manager immediately declined to offer him the “office boy” job. Reason being that a person who doesn’t have an email account means that this person doesn’t exist.

This sounds so cruel to have been rejected a job offer just because the jobless man didn’t have an email account. What I can say is that : “This is life!”. 

On the other hand, if I were the HR manager, I will also find it hard to believe that anybody applying for an office job does not have an email account especially when we are living in a world that utilises computers and Internet as our communication intensively.

We rely on information technology and Internet is a part of our everyday life. It is a hard cold fact that a PC-illiterate may lag behind the society for not knowing how to use a computer and not having an email account.

However, I’m not trying to say that this is the end of the world if a person doesn’t have an email account. Sometimes, going against the flow may end up hitting the jackpot somehow. 

Read the inspiring “tomato story” below and it may change your way of thinking.  

Hope you enjoy reading the “tomato story” and get inspired. For me, I will choose to keep the email account even if I plan to sell tomatoes 🙂
