You are driving along on a wild and stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people huddled on a bench, waiting for the bus:
1. An old woman who looks as if she is dying.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The soul mate about whom you have always dreamed.
Your two-seater sports car allows for only one other passenger. It's a difficult choice, but choose, you must. What would you do?
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 could save her life.
Or, you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and you owe him a major favor.
However, this may be your only chance to meet your soul mate and dream lover.
Strictly because of the his answer, one candidate separated himself from 199 other outstanding, completely-qualified applicants, and was chosen for the job on the spot.
HIS RESPONSE, YOU ASK?
After several contemplative moments, he replied, "I would give the car keys to my old friend, and ask him to drive the old woman to the hospital in route to his destination. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dreams."
Amazing things are possible when we are able to break free from the stubbornness of our limited thinking and open our minds--along with our hearts--to ALL options.
