　　：我沒郵箱

　　A Jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

　　一個失業的人去微軟申請辦公室文員的職位，人事經理面試他，並且看著他打掃地板，作為測試。

　　"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."

　　“你被錄用了。”人事經理說：“給我你的郵箱地址，我會把申請表發給你填，發給你的同時也意味著你開始上班。”

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

　　這個人回答說：“但我既沒有電腦，也沒有郵箱。”

　　"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.'"

　　“我很抱歉”，人事經理說：“如果你沒有郵箱，那就意味著你不能生存，一個不能生存的人當然不能有工作。”

　　The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate.

　　這個人不抱希望的離開了，他不知道要做什麼，口袋裡只有10美元，他決定去超市買了10公斤西紅柿。

　　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 sixty dollars.

　　接著他在附近門挨著門賣西紅柿，不到兩小時，他成功的將他的資金翻了一倍，他又做了3個小時，到回家時身上已經有60塊錢了。

　　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.

　　這個人認識到他可以用這種方式生存，以後他每天起的很早，回家的很晚，因此，他的錢每天都翻兩三倍。

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

　　很短的時間裡，他買了個手推車，然後卡車，接著他有了自己的運輸車隊。

　　5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US ..

　　5年以後，他成了美國最大的食品零售商.......

　　He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance.

　　他開始計劃他家庭的未來，就決定買人身保險。

　　He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.

　　他打電話給保險經濟人，然後選了一個保險。

　　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 yet 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!"

　　當談話結束後保險經濟人問他的郵箱地址，他說：“我沒有郵箱。” 保險經濟人很吃驚的說：“你沒有郵箱都可以成功的建立一個帝國，你能想象如果你有郵箱的話會怎麼樣嗎?”這個人想了一下然後回答：“是的，我會成為微軟的辦公室文員。”

　　：至少要平靜

　　When you had fallen to the bottom of your life, every people around you would tell you: Be hard-bitten and be happy!

　　在你跌入人生谷底的時候，你身旁所有的人都告訴你：要堅強，而且要快樂。

　　To be hard-bitten would be necessary, but be happy? Even in that serious occation? That would be hard for you, after all, who could keep happy while he were head-broken and bleeding.

　　堅強是絕對需要的，但是快樂?在這種情形下，恐怕是太為難你了。畢竟，誰能在跌得頭破血流的時候還覺得高興?

　　But you should at least keep calm, calmly facing and calmly treating.

　　但是至少可以做到平靜。平靜地看待這件事，平靜地把其他該處理的事處理好。

　　If you have obtained the calmness, without happy and without unhappy, you then have possessed the power for rebirth.

　　平靜，沒有快樂，也沒有不快樂。能做到這一點，你就已經有了復元的能量。
