Job Application Question

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy
night. You pass by
a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the
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 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
chance to pay him
back.

However, you may never be able to find your perfect
dream lover again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 2000 applicants)
had no trouble
coming up with an 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. And I 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. (KEEP READING...)

However, the correct answer is to run the old lady
over and put her
out of her misery, shag the perfect partner against
the bus stop and
drive off
for
a beer with the old friend.
