well i have no idea if it is a true story or not, but it's worth to read. this is about a test for new candidate at Astra Intl years ago. there's only one question, it is a story case:
you are in a region that had been hit by flood. the local goverment tried to evacuate the people the best they can, however they only have 1 single bus. the bus has been gone for several trip and finally there are only 4 person left need to be evacuated. you, a doctor, an old woman and your truly love. it's been night already and the bus has just been gone for its last trip today and will come back tomorrow morning.
fortunately, you have your motorbike with you, you can use it to save yourself and 1 other person. the question is which one will you choose? the doctor, the old woman or your true love?
the old woman is dying and will die soon unless she gets a good medical treatment but hei, people will die soon or later won't they?
the doctor had saved your life once before, you owe him. so perhaps this is the good time to pay your debt.
your true love is the only one you've been searching and dreaming for the entire life. there's no way you can find another person like her/him again.
what's your answer and your reason?
there were 2000 candidates but only 1 passed the exam. the succesful candidate wrote short:
"i'll give the motorbike to the doctor and ask him to take the old woman to the refugees camp, while i'll stay with my true love and wait for the dawn when the bus comes to pick us up."
the HRD manager was so happy found the answer and recommended the successful candidate with following notes: "smart and brilliant employee. prospectful career"
the candidate not only passed the exam but later became one of the top management at the company. she is now the minister of Industrial and Trade, Rini MS Soewandi.
so the point is, to give, to admit our limit and to share might returns to us in even more valuable thing than we expected
