Subject: What would you do?
Job Interview - the 'Killer Question'
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, when 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 friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect man (or 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 friend 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. He simply answered: "I would give the car
keys to my old friend and let her take the lady to the hospital. I would
stay behind and wait for the bus with the man/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."
However, the correct answer is to run over the old lady and put her out
of her misery, have sex with the perfect man/woman against the bus stop
and drive off with the old friend for some beers.
Cheers!
