You are driving along on a wild stormy night.
You pass by a bus stop.
Three people are waiting for the bus:
1. An old lady who is ill and about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect man (or woman) you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car.
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.
a. Do you pick up the old lady, because she will die if left there, and thus you should save her first?
b. Or do you take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be your perfect chance to repay him?
c. And you may never be able to find your perfect dream-lover again.
Think before you continue reading:
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer.
WHAT DID HE SAY?

He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend,
and let him take the lady to the hospital. I then would stay
behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dreams."
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn
thought limitations!
