Never Lose Hope



Once a middle aged man lost his job and was looking for a job to support his living. In the newspaper he found that a job of “Office Boy” is available. He needed a job badly so he applied for the post of “office boy” at a very big firm.


Next day he was called for an interview. Manager interviewed him and gave him a test. Man cleared the test.


Manager said, “You are hired.. Now give me your email address so that I can send you further details and your joining letter..”


Man replied, “Sir, I don't have a computer and neither do I have any email address.”


Manager replied, “What..? In today's time if you don’t have an e-mail id that means you don’t exist and that means you can’t get this job.. I am sorry but you are not hired.”


Man left. He didn’t know what to do as he had only 200rs left in his pocket and no job. He had no hope of getting any other job anytime soon. He didn’t know what to do. He didn’t want to go home without a job. He thought for a while…


Then he decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10kg veggies with that money and then went door to door to sell those veggies. Till evening he was able to sell off all those veggies and even doubles up his money.


This made him realize that he can survive by this and started to go to the supermarket every day early in the morning and buy fresh veggies and then the whole day he would sell them door to door and by evening he would sell all the veggies he bought in the morning.


He worked very hard everyday and with his determination and persistence, just in 5 years he became a well established businessman. Now he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles and became one of the biggest food chain retailers in the US market.


One day he decided to have life insurance for his family and himself. He called an insurance consultant. After all the discussions, the consultant asked him about his e-mail address.


Man replied, “I don’t have an e-mail address.”


Consultant was surprised and said, “You don't have an e-mail address and yet you succeeded in building an empire.. Can you imagine what you could have done and what you could be if you had an e- mail address..”


Man thought for a moment and replied, “An office boy..!!”


Moral: If we seek for something and don’t get it, we should not lose hope.. We don’t know what destiny had in store for us.. Never lose Hope and Keep Trying.

McDow Hole – Anatomy Of A Texas Ghost Story

  Spooky Texas legend of the McDow Hole, where ghost sightings of pioneer woman Jenny Papworth and her baby have long been reported.  Written by Bob Hopkins . I first heard the legendary tale of the Ghost of the McDow Hole in the fifteenth year of my youth. It was near Halloween in October 1975 when a friend related the tale of the ghost that haunts a creek bed in rural Erath County and naturally I believed every word of it in the twilight of an evening spent with friends telling ghost stories. I would again hear the tale over the years while living in North Central Texas. It wasn’t until my chance encounter of meeting an author of the legend in 2002 that my curiosity began to peak and like any good investigator I felt it my duty to dig deeper into the hundred year old tale of pioneer folklore to see how much of the story was true and how much was fabricated. I would discover many similarities in fact and fiction that I believed would leave any reader with the same curiosity t...

Tsali: North Carolina Cherokee Ghost Story

  The year was 1838. As the first rays of early morning light crept through the dark and misty mountain valley, Tsali gazed out of his tiny cave with a heavy heart. As a young boy, he spent days running though the thick woods and scampering up the steep, rocky hillsides that surrounded his Cherokee village in western North Carolina. The mountains were his place of escape — a place where he could dream, and be alone with his thoughts. But now, as an ailing, 60-year-old man, Tsali was hiding in these hills for a very different reason. The white man had taken away the land that his ancestors had lived on for centuries. And they would not stop until even these majestic, sacred hills were theirs. Tsali looked out and saw his fellow villagers, who were also hiding in the tiny crevices that dotted the wooded hillside. Many were shivering in the early morning chill. In their haste to leave, they had had no time to pack their belongings. Some managed to smile back at Tsali, their teeth chat...

Lorenzo Dow’s Georgia Curse

  There comes a time in life when we all need a little guidance – a little helpful push to remind us what’s right and wrong. And for some folks, that guidance comes from some good old fashioned, fire and brimstone preaching. Now these days, you can’t turn on the TV without seeing one religious channel after another. But back in the old days when there wasn’t any TV – or cars for that matter – the traveling preacher was the only man of God some country folk got to see. Lorenzo Dow was one of the best-known traveling preachers back in the 1800s. He was a funny looking man from Connecticut – tall and skinny with wild eyes, long stringy hair, a thick beard, and a slight hunchback. But he also had a booming voice that made sinners across the country shake in their boots. “Repent now, my brothers and sisters! Repent!” he would scream in every town he visited, and many people did just that. Lorenzo loved the outdoors, and would rather sleep on cold, hard ground in the woods than the most ...
