Imagine this scenario..................
You are driving along in your two seater car on a wild stormy night. It's raining heavily and when you suddenly pass by a bus stop, you see three people waiting for the bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is just about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect soul mate you have been dreaming about all your life.
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 interview.
* You could pick up the old lady and take her to the hospital to save her life since this is the humane thing to do.
* Or you could choose 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 soul mate ever again.
The candidate who was hired {out of 200 applicants} had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what his answer was?

He simply answered:
"I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the old lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the perfect soul mate of my dreams."
Sometimes we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn egocentric thoughts . Always remember to "Think Outside The Box."
So what was your answer????? :)

Thanks a lot for the insight.I wouldn't think of that.I dare not say what my answer is,but,it's true we gotta give up our egocentric thoughts and put other people's interests before our own.This,is not only thinking outside the box but also a practice of humility.
Thanks.
God bless you all.
