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.
The
candidate who was hired (out of 200
applicants) had no trouble coming up
with 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 man/woman of
my dreams."
Never forget to "Think
Outside of the Box."
A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself. A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy [...]
