I received this from a friend. An interesting Story

An unemployed man is desperate to support his family. His wife watches TV
all day and his three teenage kids have dropped out of high school to hang
around with the local toughs. He applies for a janitor's job at a large firm
and easily passes an aptitude test. The human resources manager tells him,
"You will be hired at minimum wage of $5.15 an hour. Let me have your
e-mail address so that we can get you in the loop. Our system will automatically
e-mail you all the forms and advise you when to start and where to report on
your first day." Taken back, the man protests that he is poor and has
neither a computer nor an e-mail address. To this the manager replies, "You
must understand that to a company like ours that means that you virtually do
not exist. Without an e-mail address you can hardly expect to be employed
by a high-tech firm. Good day." Stunned, the man leaves. Not knowing where to
turn and having $10 in his wallet, he walks past a farmers' market and sees
a stand selling 25lb crates of beautiful red tomatoes. He buys a crate,
carries it to a busy corner and displays the tomatoes. In less than 2 hours
he sells all the tomatoes and makes 100% profit. Repeating the process
several times more that day, he ends up with almost $100 and arrives home
that night with several bags of groceries for his family. During the night
he decides to repeat the tomato business the next day. By the end of the
week he is getting up early every day and working into the night. He
multiplies his profits quickly. Early in the second week he acquires a cart to
transport several boxes of tomatoes at a time, but before a month is up
he sells the cart to buy a broken-down pickup truck. At the end of a year he
owns three old trucks. His two sons have left their neighborhood gangs to
help him with the tomato business, his wife is buying the tomatoes, and his
daughter is taking night courses at the community college so she can keep
books for him. By the end of the second year he has a dozen very nice used
trucks and employs fifteen previously unemployed people, all selling
tomatoes. He continues to work hard. Time passes and at the end of the fifth
year he owns a fleet of nice trucks and a warehouse which his wife
supervises, plus two tomato farms that the boys manage. The tomato
company's payroll has put hundreds of homeless and jobless people to work. His
daughter reports that the business grossed a million dollars. Planning for
the future, he decides to buy some life insurance. Consulting with an
insurance adviser, he picks an insurance plan to fit his new circumstances.
Then the adviser asks him for his e-mail address in order to send the final
documents electronically. When the man replies that he doesn't have time to
mess with a computer and has no e-mail address, the insurance man is
stunned, "What, you don't have e-mail? No computer? No Internet? Just think
where you would be today if you'd had all of that five years ago!" "Ha!"
snorts the man. "If I'd had e-mail five years ago I would be sweeping floors
at Microsoft and making $5.15 an hour." Which brings us to the moral: Since
you got this story by e-mail, you're probably closer to being a janitor than
a millionaire. Sadly, I received it also.
