You are driving your car on a stormy night and you pass by a bus stop. At the bus stop, there are three persons waiting.
-The first person is an old woman whose seems to be dying soon.
-The second person is an old friend of you who saved your life one day.
-The third person is your dream man/woman whom you constantly wished to meet.
You have room for only one person in your car, which one of these three person would you choose to give a ride?
This was one of the questions used in job application form.
Only one candidate among 200 gave a brilliant answer and got the job..
What do you think his answer was?

Here's what I think....
This whole scenario is a dream. I myself am the three people at the bus stop.
The old woman who seems to be dying represents me at the worst time in my life; when I was overly stressed, depressed, overweight, etc..
The second person is me because I was a friend to myself. I saved my life by changing my habits: eating healthier to prolong my life, changing my mental attitude to become less stressed with the little things, to become a happier person and enjoy life more.
Life is about working to become the person you want to be. It's always a work in progress. In the long run, I'll also be the third person; the person I've always wanted to meet (who is a responsible, caring person; looks out for others; is dependable; a wife, a mother, perhaps a published author...)
How's that? It's not your typical answer at least. What was the person's answer that got the job?

Hmm .. well mimi this is what I would do if I where in such a situation...
I would first get out off the car and give my friend who saved my life once the keys and tell the old woman to get into the car so he may take her directly to the hospital and then wait at the bus stop with my dream Gal i have awaited and prayed for all my life... walla everyone good and happy...
I would then probably call for a cab to pick us up and wisk us streight to a restaurant for a slap up meal ... thats on the basis she would agree..
Love Always

Well the old woman is the only one in the life or death situation. The others, I'm sure, can ride the darn bus. I'll take the old woman to the hospital. She'll get medical attention to make her all better (hopefully she has good insurance!). I'll get her there faster if I take her there instead of the bus taking her wherever. Besides, sitting in the stormy weather will only make her sicker.

Well, the old woman has already lived life, so she doesn't need an immeadiate ride somewhere. The bus will get her.
If the third person is really my dream man, then he would find me, so he can take the bus too.
My old friend is the one that I'd give a ride to. Friends are like siblings God forgot to give you. Your faithfulness and loyalty to your friends is everything.

Well, I'd probably ask the old friend to drive the car and i'd ask the woman of my dreams to share a seat with me or sit on my lap. But I wouldn't just want to leave the old woman by herself on a stormy night, so i'd probably want to wait till the bus came.

Is the old woman rich? If not, I would have the friend drive while the dream girl sat on my lap in the passenger seat.
I guess another answer could be that I could let my friend drive the old lady while I took the bus with the dream girl.

I'd get out and ask the Old friend to drive the dying woman to the hospital and return my car later;and I'd wait at the bus station with the woman I want to meet.

I am not sure. However, I would probably give my car to the second person so that they could take the first person to the hospital. And wait with the third person for the bus for I am sure my dream man could provide some discussion while we wait.
What do you think?

I would get out of the car- let the person who saved my life get in and have that person drive the old lady to a hospital and then wait with the person i wished to meet and we would go get hot chocolate or something
