Hello Friends...
Who would not like stories? Everyone love to hear stories.
Reading stories is a great hobby one can have which helps us learn new words and
can also increase our imagination. When reading stories, most of them would
naturally start imagining the characters in the story and will have a great
movie flow in their mind about what the particular person is reading. Here is a
story I would like to share with you which I had read recently. Let us swing into
the story and start imagining ...
One day a man was hunting
for jobs and he applied in a very big firm
for the position of ‘office boy’. The manager interviewed the man and gave
a test of cleaning the floor. After evaluating
the man, the manager said, ”You are hired.
Give me your phone number, and I shall inform you when to start your work”.
The man replied, “Sir, I don’t have a mobile phone”. The
manager said, “Sorry, If you don’t have a mobile phone, you cannot have the job”
and asked the man to leave. Having no job made the man desperate. He had only 100 rupees in his pocket and had no idea of
what to do.
He then decided to go to the retail outlet to buy 20 kg tomato in a crate. After buying, he sold the tomatoes in door-step to many people until
all the tomatoes were sold. In less than three hours, he gained double the
amount than he already had. He repeated the same process four times, and
returned home. This time he gained 800 rupees. Now the man realized that he can
survive by this way. From then on, he started his work each day to sell the same
way by going early morning and returning late night.
In short period, he bought a cart, then a truck and then he
had his own fleet of delivery
vehicles to deliver the vegetables.
Five years later, the man became one of the great food retailers. After great success in
earning money, he decided to have a life insurance for his family’s future.
He called an insurance broker and had a conversation to
choose a protection plan. After choosing the plan, the broker asked the man for
his mobile number.
Can anyone guess what would the man have told..Let us find
it..
The broker replied, ”I don’t have a mobile phone”.
The broker asked inquisitively,
“You don’t have a mobile number, and yet had triumph to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been
if you had the mobile number?”
The man thought for a minute, and answered, “An office boy!”
Hope everyone have understood why the man said this way.
Moral : It is not what we have, it is what we can make when
we don’t have anything. Hard work matters.
Let us take few steps each day working hard to achieve success.. Here are few words for you to understand the story clearly..
1. Hunting – searching/looking for.
2. Firm – company.
3. Evaluating – to judge/ determine the quality.
4. Hired – employed/ giving work to someone and paying for them for the work done by them.
5. Desperate – hopeless.

7. Crate – a container to store products/goods.
8. Fleet – vehicles used to deliver goods to customers/vehicles owned by organization or for other business purposes.
