Tomato Company

While surfing the net, I found this. 
Just want to share.
Try to read. :)


An unemployed man is desperate to support his family of a wife and three kids. 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 $5.35 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 25 lb. 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 that 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 over one 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. 

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 $5.35 an hour." Which brings us to the moral of the story: 

Since you got this story by e-mail, you're probably closer to being a janitor than a millionaire. 
Sadly, I received it also. .


-----
But for my conclusion, what I learned in this story is that rejecting by others makes you successful.  But it depends, cause sometimes it will also be the end of the world of that person, but in the story here, he proved something on himself, he made his own way to survive, he persevere, and continue his best to succeed.

Because It's MARCH 1

Third post for this day.

I just want to post again.

It just like there's so much happened on this day. XD

First is the Caring Group or CG. Click here to see my post.
Second is the Latin Mass Experience. Click here to see my post.

And lastly, actually, it was the first thing that happens in this day. The second training of Wing Chun.

None of our business, it just that, all that happens, or if there are questions in our minds, we would just say, "Because It's March 1". Haha! Nonsense! xD That's all.

Okay. Kudos! Good night! >",<

Who Are Your Other Inspirations in Life? Who or What Motivates you in Living?

Of course, other, means aside from our Savior, Family and Friends.

So you are not safe, who's your crush or loved one? xD

Ayieee. You're thinking him/her.... <3

But actually, this not only pertaining on a person.

If you will ask me, who are my other inspirations in life, who or what motivates me in my living, except God, Family and friends? This will be my answers.

• My very first godchild.
       If you will see my godchild, the stress on you will all be diminish. It feels like you see an angel. And all you want to do is to baby sit him. hehe. I miss my godchild. Every time I see him, he puts smile on my face. :)

• The stars in the sky.
       Aaah. When I look at the sky and there are stars in the sky, it relaxes me, gives me peace. I miss to be on Bulacan, because our place in Bulacan was like a jungle, haha, you would feel the nature and the sight seeing of the stars is awesome.
       I want to experience seeing stars like this
  
  
• The color purple.
       Isn't it obvious? haha. The title of my blog is The Purple Geek because I heart purple. :)

First Time to Attend LATIN MASS at Ateneo de Manila University

Latin Mass at Ateneo de Manila university

We, the AktiFEASTas (that's what we called to the Campus Feasters at PUP), decided to go to the Ateneo de Manila University to experience Latin mass!

It's our first time to be there! :)

It was really solemn. Feels like you're a part of nature and the presence of the Lord is in you. :)

The mass were in Latin but thanks for a photo copy given to us that has a Latin form and English translation form of the whole happening in the mass that we got to follow.

Most of the Latin prayers were prayed by the priest. The choir sung Latin songs, I got mesmerized.

When you close your eyes, you got a different feeling. :)

Try this when you're going to attend.

It's a great experience, indeed.
