A small story:

A jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft.

The HR manager interviewed him, then a test: clean the floor. "You are engaged"
he said, give me your e-mail 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 HR manager, if you don't have an email, which 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 in
his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 lbs. tomato
crate.

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!.

The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday
earlier, and return late.

Thus, his money doubles or triples everyday. Shortly later, he bought a cart,
then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles 5 years later, the
man is one of the biggest food retailers in the U. S.

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. The man
replied: ' I don't have an email'.

The broker replied curiously, you don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to
build an empire. Do you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?!!

The man thought for a while, and replied: An office boy at Microsoft!

The moral of this story :

M1-Internet is not the solution to your life.
M2- Even if you don't have Internet, and work hard, you can still be a
millionaire.
M3- If you received this message by email, you are closer to be an office boy,
rather than a millionaire.

Nice one Raj,
Actually it is very true...most middleclass is closer to an office boy than a millionaire. Finacial security does come at the price of financial freedom :)
