Solving a dilemma

You are driving home during a stormy evening. As you pass by a Bus Stop, you see a few people waiting, and among them you notice three particular characters: an old woman who seemed very weak, an old friend who once saved your life, and a young lady whom you would love the get to know better. Your car however is a two-seater, and there was only room for one person. Which one of these characters would you would give a lift to? This is a moral and ethical problem which was often presented to candidates applying for a nice job. So think calmly before answering. You can give a ride to the elderly woman and take her to the hospital and possibly save her life. You can give a ride to your old friend and this way pay back for the kind deed he did for you years ago. Or you can give a ride to the pretty girl and  maybe get acquainted with her and build a long-lasting relationship. So, which person would you give a ride to? Out of 200 candidates, only one answered correctly, thereby solving this dilemma, and getting the prestigious job. This was his answer: ‘I would give my car keys to my friend who had saved my life and ask him to take the old lady to a nearby hospital. Then I would wait on the stage with the young pretty girl, and in the process invite her for a drink to get to know her better, and who knows eventually we can get married and live happily together.’ When pondering a decision, it’s wise to think properly before making the choice. It could very well be a life-changing event for you, and your life will never ever be the same.
