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 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 saveher first; or you could take the old friend because he save 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.
Never forget to think outside of the box
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!
