Question 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 man (or)woman 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.
there were 200 applicants for the job:-
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 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.
