Boldest action safest

 

 

 

 

Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for Microsoft Europe. 5000 candidates assembled in a large room.

 

One candidate is our Kutty.

 

Bill Gates: Thank you for coming.

Those who do not know JAVA may leave.

 

2000 people leave the room.

 

Kutty says to himself,

'I do not know JAVA, but I have

nothing to lose if I stay. I'll give it a try !'

 

Bill Gates: Candidates who never had experience of managing more than 100 people may leave.

 

2000 people leave the room.

 

Kutty says to himself

'I never managed anybody by

myself, but I have nothing to lose if I stay. What can happen to me ?' So he stays.

 

Bill Gates: Candidates who do not have management diplomas may leave.

 

500 people leave the room.

 

Kutty says to himself,

 

'I left school at 15, but what

have I got to lose ?' So he stays in the room.

 

Lastly,

Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not speak Serbo-Croat to leave.

 

498 people leave the room.

 

Kutty says to himself,

 

'I do not speak one word of

Serbo-Croat but what do I have to lose ?' So he stays and finds himself with one other candidate; Everyone else has gone.

 

Bill Gates joined them and said

 

'Apparently you are the only

two candidates who speak Serbo-Croat, so I'd now like to hear you have a conversation together in that language.'

 

Calmly, Kutty turns to the other candidate and says

 

'Naatil Evddey ?' (where are U From?)

 

The other candidate answers…

 

'Thrissur'
