Topic: THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX !!!

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 flame who once saved your life.

3. The perfect 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 flame because she once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay her 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.
WHAT DID HE SAY?

He simply answered: “I would give the car keys to my old flame, and let her take the lady to the hospital. 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.”

What if the old flame did not know how to drive, or the old lady refuses to go without you?

He is really thinking positive, What if the old flame couldn't drive. Don't you think giving him the key would be sacrificing the old woman's life?
