Tomato Story

This actually came to me in an email .......

A Jobless & almost illeterate man applied for the position of " helper' at Microsoft. The interviewer interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

'You are employed' he said.. Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.

The man replied 'But I don't have a computer, neither an email'.

'I'm sorry', said the HR manager. If you don't have an email, that 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 10Kg 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 doubled or tripled everyday.

Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

5 years later, the man is 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 chose 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 answered curiously, 'You don't have an email, and ye have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e mail?!!' The man thought for a while and replied, 'Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!'

Moral of the story

“The burden of hatred”

A Junior School teacher noticed some of her students carrying hatred and fighting with each other. She wanted to teach all a lesson and told her students to bring some potatoes in a plastic bag to school. “Don’t think it’s for preparing chips just bring”, she told.

Each potato will be given the name of the person whom that child hates. Some decided to bring a sack of potatoes. Like this the number of potatoes would be equal to the number of persons they hate. On the decided day the children brought their potatoes well addressed as instructed. Some had two, some had three and some had even five potatoes. ..

The teacher said they have to carry these potatoes with them everywhere they go for a week. As the days passed the children started to complain about the spoilt smell that started emanating from these potatoes. ..

Also those who had many potatoes complained that it was very heavy to carry them all around. The children got rid of this assignment after a week when it got over.

The teacher asked, “How did you feel in this one week?” The children discussed their problems about the smell and weight. Then the teacher said, “This situation is very similar to what you carry in your heart when you don’t like some people. This hatred makes your heart unhealthy. That may be also a major reason for rising heart attacks and you carry that hatred in your heart everywhere you go.

If you cannot bear the smell of spoilt potatoes for a week, imagine the impact of this hatred that you carry throughout your life, on your heart?” Hatred is a burden, it ruthlessly crushes the one who carries it deep inside, not realizing he’s sown a poisonous seed within his own heart. Wipe it before it wipes you!
