You are
driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when
suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if
she is about to die. 2. An old friend who once
saved your life. 3. The perfect partner you
have been dreaming about.
Which one
would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be
one passenger in your car?
Think

This is a
moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.
* You could
pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her
first;
* or you
could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be
the perfect chance to pay him back.
* However,
you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
The
candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with
his answer. Guess what was his answer?

He simply
answered: "I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the
lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner
of my dreams."
Sometimes,
we gain more if we are able to give up our
stubborn
thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."
