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."
