Thinking outside the BOX

Job Interview 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. 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 woman of my dreams."

Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

You've put me in a dilemma. Well, I don't know how to choose too. But if I were to be asked this question, I would choose OLD LADIES. She's going to die, so we save her a life. The good deed your friend gave us can be returned next day, but life can't be returned. As for the person we have been dreaming about, well, if she's meant to be ours, don't need to rash, she'll be with us. If she doesn't mean to be, what use to have her now and u'll lose her in the next day.?
