In early 1996, US and whole world was facing unemployment; just before Y2K. One man went for an interview of office assistant in a logistic company in Boston. All the way interview was well finished...

last question was " Do you have an email ID?"

Reply " NO".

Next Q " How do you manage communication, if I send a reply on it"

Reply " I don't know, how to create it, I do not have computer savvy. Is this the only criteria for qualification?"

Interviewer " We cannot select you man... sorry"

Man returned... while walking on footpath... he searched for penny in his pocket and got a 3 dollar 15 cents..    Badly needed a job... continuously thinking .... he had the potential... hard working... now hungry also.... what should be done with these pennies... lets start a small business.

He bought a vegetables and sold to neighbor... wow got 4 dollar 50 cents... welll... next day... again next day... again next day same thing happened..

After one month he was with the 100 dollars.... after a year he was having 10000 dollars.... progressed year by year and became an owner of the reputed logistic company.

In 2008, Forbes published a list of small entrepreneur and he was at the third place.

News magazines came for interview... asked so many questions... Again after just 12 years...

Last question " Do you have email ID?"

Reply " NO".

Next Q " How do you manage your business without this."

Reply " If I would have email id in 1996, I would be a office manager not more than that."

At best we should use this to become familiar with the twists and turns of life, which are not uncommon; and appear sometimes stranger than fiction. But it is only exception; should not be taken as a rule.
