What Would You Do?

[atma]

 

 

 

You are driving along in your car 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 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 amoral/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.

 

 

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had

no trouble coming up with his answer. I love this, I may

actually use it sometime for an interview situation.

 

 

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."

 

Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

Hmmm... Good lesson there.I just drove off with the babe without thinking.

I forgot to add that psychologically the people who didn't choose anything and just looked at the answer are cheaters and are afraid of making choices because of unknown consequences. Not very good for a job interview or other things in life.

 

I chose to give the car to my friend, I didn't want to born again to pay back, the old lady would die anyway and who wants more attachments in this lifetime

I am give old friend the pick up. Not to be paying back but because of the friendship. Am I missing joke?
