A jobless man applied for the position of office boy at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him, then gave him a test: clean the floor. The man passed the test with flying colors. You are hired, HR manager informed the applicant, give me your e-mail address, and Ill send you the application for employment, as well as the date you should report for work. The man replied I dont have a computer, or an email! Im sorry, said the HR manager. If you dont have an email, that means you do not exist. And we cannot hire persons who do not exist. The man was very disappointed. He didnt know what to do. He only had $10 with him. Once that is spent, he wont have any money to buy any food. He went to the supermarket and bought a crate of tomatoes with his $10. He went from door to door and sold the tomatoes in less than two hours. He doubled his money. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $ 60. He realized that he can survive this way. He started to go everyday earlier, and return late. He doubled or tripled his money every day. Soon, he bought a cart, then a truck. In a very short time, he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man became one of the biggest food retailers in the U. S. He started to plan his familys future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. At the end of the conversation, the broker asked him for his email address. The man replied: I dont have an email. The broker was dumbfounded. You dont have an email, and yet have succeeded in building an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?, he exclaimed. The man thought for a while, and replied, an office boy at Microsoft! == There are some things in life that we feel are very important yet they are the very things that are keeping us down. Its the donor mentality that is keeping Malawi down! Malawi would have been somewhere if we had not been relying on donors! Its time to shed off the donor mentality! Yes, we can do it!
