Take Your Pick
See if you can figure out this one:
You are driving along in your car in 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 prefect man (or) woman you have dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only one passenger in your car?
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 prefect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect dream lover again.
Which one of the above would you help?
The best solution would be to give the car key to your old friend, and let him to take the lady to the hospital. Stay behind, and wait for the bus with the woman of your dreams.
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.
