You are driving along 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 before you continue
reading............
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 hence 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.

His answer:
"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... and begin to "Think
Outside of the Box"!
Pass this on to others so that they may
also think out of the box...
