Question 1: 







You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, 







it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see 







three people waiting for a bus: 







An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. 







An old friend who once saved your life. 







The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. 







Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that 







there could only be one passenger in your car? 







This is a moral/ethical dilem ma that was once ac tually 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. 







The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming 







up with his answer. Guess what was 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."
