You are driving down the road in your Corvette on a wild, stormy night, when 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 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 mate again.
YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS…
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 partner 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.’

Very clever. I must admit, I didn’t think of that but once you hear it, it is so obvious.

Me? No, I can’t think outside the box! I just have to stay out of the box!
Thanks, Chris the Reading Ape, for another great post!
Peace, love & NO MORE BOXES,

You’d have to be a good judge of character and know that friend well, or you might lose the car and the girl. 🙂 — Suzanne

Hey, I did. I was thinking, two places in the car, so which pairings work best, whose needs are most urgent – and it fell into place.

I failed. Right. Think o.u.t.s.i.d.e. the box. 😀 This is great.

Nice!
I failed the test! :p But then again, I didn’t even consider picking #3 because there’s no such thing as the perfect partner and the word “dreaming” doesn’t appeal to me! Lol.
