Think Outside of the Box

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 partner 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 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.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble
coming up with his answer. He simply answered: "I would give my 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 partner 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."

Please don't forget what you said; people will forget what you did; but
people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

Thanks pau! I loved loved loved that. I especially was taken with:

Please don't forget what you said; people will forget what you did; but
people will never forget how you made them feel."

- Maya Angelou

Another reason I love Maya Angelou.... So much so in fact, I've adopted her words as my new sig line.

"Senility Prayer"...God grant me...
The senility to forget the people I never liked
The good fortune to run into the ones that I do
And the eyesight to tell the difference."
