"Think Outside of the Box."

In an interview a person was asked,
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. It's
raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:
An old lady who looks as if shes about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
The perfect partner youve been dreaming about.
To whom would you offer a ride, knowing very well 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 shes 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 mate again.

He simply answered:
"I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to
hospital.
I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought
patterns.

Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."
