Bill Gates organised an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for
Microsoft Europe. 5000 candidates assembled in a large room. One candidate
was Amdan.
Bill Gates thanked all the candidates for coming and asking those who do
not know JAVA programming to leave. 2000 people leave the room. Amda 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 then asked the candidates who never had experience of
managing more than 100 people to leave. 2000 people leave the room.. Amda
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.
Then Bill Gates asked candidates who do not have management diplomas to
leave. 500 people leave the room. Amda 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. Amdan 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
have all the required qualifications & experience I am looking for and
speak Serbo - Croat, so I'd now like to hear you have a conversation
together in that language.'
and......
Calmly, Amdan turns to the other candidate and says ` Kohomada Machang?
The other candidate answers ' Ammata Hudu..........umbath
Lankavenda??............Me Yakaata (Bill Gates) pissu Machang'
