Questioning you ~~ **updated with candidate's answer**
**ripped from Waltha's blog, hope you don't mind ;P**
Imagine this... You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a 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 very well 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 hence 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 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."

Maybe it's time to blog...haven't done so for a long time actually.
But then, the reason why I haven't blogged for sometime? I have nothing to blog!! Life is so mundane nowadays. So darn boring. Got a test coming up on Saturday, but doesn't seem to be motivated. Maybe it's because it's business statistics, which is so darn boring. It's almost like business computing last sem. MAYBE i shouldn't take anymore modules starting with the word business. hmmzz....
