THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

TEST:
You are driving down the road in your 2 seater sports 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.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS....... The candidate who was hired (out of 200
applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. 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 partner of my
dreams."

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought
limitations.

GOSSIP:
Henry is a man of few words and a new member of a church. Mildred is an old member of the church, a gossip, and believes she is in charge of the towns morals.

Henry came to a congregation meeting and Mildred immediately jumped up and said, "Henry, I saw your pickup truck outside the town bar. I know what you were doing. You are an alcoholic."

LIPSTIK:
A principal called several or her middle school girls into the girl's bathroom. She pointed to the mirrors that had a lot of lipsticks smudges on them because the girls blotted their licks on the mirrors.

She said, "Mr. Jones, the janitor, has a very difficult time getting those stains off of the mirrors. Mr. Jones would you please show us how difficult it is."

Mr. Jones took his brush and dipped it into a toilet and went to the mirrors and started scrubbing. The principal and Mr. Jones never set another word. Never again were their lipsticks smudges on the mirrors.

There is always a way to solve your problem and to make your point.
