Brain Teaser

Here is a nice brain teaser for you check it out.

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 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.
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.
This is actually a question during a job interview. The guy who got the
job 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!"Ü

Love is like waiting for a bus. When the bus
comes, you look at it and you say to yourself
"eeee...so full....cannot sit down, I'll wait for
the next one."

So you let the bus go and waited for the second
bus. Then the second bus came, you looked at it
you said, "eeee...this bus is so old...so shabby!"


So you let the bus go and again, decided to wait
for the next bus.

After a while another bus came, it's not crowded,
not old but you said, "eeee...not air conditioned
...better wait for the next one." So again you
let the bus go and decided to wait for the next
bus.


Then the sky started to get dark as it was
getting late. You panicked and jumped immediately
inside the next bus. It is not until much later that
you found out that you had boarded the wrong bus!
And you wasted your time and money just to get
into the wrong one!

Even if an air conditioned bus comes, you can't
ensure that the air conditioned bus won't break
down or whether or not the airconditioner will
be too cold for you.

Wanting to get what you want is not wrong. But it
wouldn't hurt to give other people a chance. If
you find that the "bus" doesn't suit you just
press the red button and get off the bus! Hey, who
said life is fair??? The best thing to do is be
observant and open-minded. If it doesn't suit you,
get off.

I'm sure you've had this experience before. You
saw a bus coming (the bus you want of course). You
flagged it but the driver acted as if he did not
see you and zoomed pass you! It just wasn't meant
for you!

The bottom line is, being loved is like waiting
for a bus you want. Getting on the bus and
appreciating the bus by giving it a chance depends
totally on you. If you haven't made any choice,
WALK!

Walking is like being single. The good side of it
is you can still choose any bus you want...the
rest who couldn't afford another ride would just
have to be content with the bus they rode on, ugly
or not.

Also, sometimes it is better to choose a bus you
are already familiar with rather than to gamble
with a bus that is unfamiliar to you. But then
again, life wouldn't be complete without the risks
involved.

But there is one bus that I failed to tell you
about.- the Bus you do not have to wait for, the
Bus that will stop on its own and ask you if you
wish to come inside, then take you for a joy ride
for the rest of your life.

Hope you get to ride on that bus! :)
