Perfect answer

THINK 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:

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 very well 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.

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."

Nice

Thanx for sharing Sirji

Thanks to Anamikaa Madam and Deepak Ji....

VERY NICE SHARING SIRJIIIIIIIII smiley

 

Thanks Ash for this reverberating story.

 

Most of our Intuition would have said to save the old lady, but the spur of the moment what is going on in one's mind is difficult to predict. 

 

However, nonetheless, doing a work, which is worth remembering the most, is valuable gift that you can present it to the humanity.

Actually you miss the main point of question. The car was two sitter...

Awesome Sirji yes...

 

what an idea sirji?
