Bachelor Posted July 15, 2005 Which one would you choose? (or can you come up with a win-win situation) This question is used at some major companies as part of the interviewing process: You are driving along on a wild stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus: 1. An old lady who 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, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car. 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 dream lover again. Think before you continue reading.................................. The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. WHAT DID HE SAY? * * * * * * * * * 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 woman of my dreams." Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations!

My old friend isn't in life threatening situation. He might even encourage me to save the old lady. 3. A perfect woman exists only in our mothers, jannah, and imagination.
