Naraating his true life story, Hamid Abdulmalik Al-Hassan wrote:

He walked into an Internet cafe and asked for the manager's office. He was show the way. He walked gracefully towards the office, knocked and he was asked to come in.

"What can I do for you?", the manager asked. "I would like to be your errand boy", was his reply. "I will keep your cafe as well as your office clean, make you tea and or coffee whenever you need and will be at your disposal anytime you need someone to go wash your car, clean your house or anything chores needed to be done."

"You mean you want to be my office boy?", the manager asked. "Yes sir, if that is what you call it.", was his reply.

He was granted the job. Hours turned into days, and days turned into weeks. Apart from being the "office boy", he would help customers having technical problems with their computers or help them data mine information they are looking for to use in their researches, some of them being lecturers in the University.

Then the cafe had a network problem, he solved it before anyone could wink. The manager, one morning called him to his office. "When and where did you learn how to fix computers, perform data mining and so on?", he asked. "I am a graduate of Information Technology", was his reply. The manager took a deep breath and said, "I have been planning to expand my business, but never found the right person to help. I am openning up a new office tomorrow and would like you to be my partner as well as my manager in that branch, my lawyer will get the contract ready by the end of the day. If you can drive, pick from any of the cars outside. I will deal with other things like better accommodation and whatever needed after tomorrow. That will be all."

"Thank you sir", was his reply. "No, thank you" was his bosses reply. He walked out speechless, dumb founded and any word used to describe a confused entity. "One last thing", his boss called back at him. "Can I ask you a question?", asked his boss. "Of course sir", he replied. His boss took a deep breath, "Why did you choose to be an errand boy instead of seeking for a job as a professional Information Technology expert?", he asked. He took a deep breath, and smiled, "Sir, humility is the gate way to might and greatness".

To all those yeye graduate sitting on their patched trousers, running from one office to another with photo copies of their credentials for the past five years, I am dedicating this one to you.

May Allah give us the ability to bow our heads in humility.

This is a nice story but its very unrealistic.

I tell you

Thats a true life story

Am expected to believe this? I don suffer

Different
strokes for different folks..Destiny's are different..He was destined
to make it that way,it might not work for everyone.
He met someone who is merciful and considerate,which is rare this days.

Don't call it pride when graduates go for the main thing,someone else might try that and remain an errandboy for life.

The 'story' na true o!

Rubbish.......!
