A tricky question


JUST 1 QUESTION.

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a busstop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady wholooks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved yourlife.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Whichone would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be onepassenger 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 becausehe once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay himback.However, you may never be able to find your perfect mateagain.

NOW READ THIS:
The candidate who was hired (out of 200applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer.He simplyanswered:I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him takethe lady to the hospital.I would stay behind and wait for the bus with thepartner of my dreams.

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give upour stubborn thought limitations.
