Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for
Microsoft Europe. 5000 candidates assembled in a large room. One
candidate is Santa Singh an Indian (Punjabi) guy. Bill Gates thanked all
the candidates for coming and asking those who do not know JAVA program
to leave.2000 people leave the room. Santa 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 asked the candidates who never had experience of managing more
than 100 people to leave. 2000 people leave the room. Santa 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. Santa 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. Santa 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, Santa turns to the
other candidate and says ‘Hor Phaphe ki haal chaal?.’ The other
candidate answers ‘ O Vadiya veere, tu Sunna’.
