Job Interview Question
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
An old lady who looks as if she is about to die
An old friend who once saved your life
The perfect man (or) woman 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 dream lover 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 woman of my dreams

پیغامگیر تلفن خونه شما چی می گه ؟!
دخترم می گفت بگیم :
You know what to do ?!
روشنائی چراغهای خیابان خوشامد گوئی گرم سرمای شبانه ای بود که داشت از راه می رسید.
انحنای نیمکت پارک با ستون فقرات خسته اش آشنا بود .
پتوی پشمی سالویشن آرمی * ٬ دور شانه هایش پیچیده شده و آرامش بخش بود . و یک جفت کفشی که امروز از میان زباله ها پیدا کرده بود کاملا اندازه اش بود .
فکر کرد ٬خدایا٬ زندگی چقدر خوب است .
Gratitude
The Street lights were warm welcome from oncoming chill of darkness
The park bench‘s curvature felt familiar under his tired old spine
The wool blanket from Salvation Army was comfortable around his shoulders and the pair of shoes he’d found in the dumpster today fit perfectly
God, he thought , isn’t life grand

The wish
The evening glow behind the fog faded as the two walked the almost deserted beach
“I’ll never understand women “
“Do you really want to?”
“Yes, I do, I truly do. “
“Oh, all right.”
She whispered into his ear; understanding crystallized in his eyes like broken glass
He ran screaming in to night

"Yes"
"I'm sitting right over there," pointing to my seat at the bar, "and I'm waiting on a very important client. Would you be so kind when she arrives as to come walk by and just say, 'Hi, Ray,'
"Sure."
I shook his hand and thanked him and went back to my seat
About ten minutes later, my client showed up. We ordered a drink and started to talk business
A couple of minutes later, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Bill Gates
"Hi, Ray," he saidI replied, "Get lost Gates, I'm in a meeting"
