Just a little food for thought: What would your response be?
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 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 dream lover again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming
up
with his answer.
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."
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought
limitations.
Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

Bwoy people, when mi first si di scenario mi sey to miself, "blouse & skirt look how granny dead and mi bredren ago stop par wid mi".
Gentle people, me wouldn't get the work, cause mi haffi pick up di girl.
Seriously though, the old lady played a major part in my decision.
1)Give my friend a talk, tell him sey mi soon come back.
2)Ask miss beautiful fi har digits, if she sey no, well, a so it haffi guh.
3)Make a quick falsh wid granny to the hospital.
My vehicle have restricted insurance (two drivers only) so mi naw gi a guy my car key.
P.S. If is Jamaica this happen, I would be able to pick up everybody one at a time before any bus reach dem.
