A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
 
 
He then asked the students if the jar was full.
 
They agreed that it was. 

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
 
He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
 
They agreed it was.
 
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
 
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
 
 
He asked once more if the jar was full.
 
The students responded with a unanimous “yes.”
 
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.  Read more... (455 words, 2 images, estimated 1:49 mins reading time)

I got this in my mail box (although an old story) and this question has been asked in many Personal Interviews to understand the thought process and decision making aptitude of the applicant.

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:

• An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
• An old friend who once saved your life.
• 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?

This is a dilemma that was once used as part of a job application.  Read more... (262 words, 0 images, estimated 1:03 mins reading time)

A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits (phone numbers).

The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:
Boy: “Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?
Woman: (at the other end of the phone line): “I already have someone to cut my lawn.”
Boy: “Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now.” Woman: I’m very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn.
Boy: (with more perseverance) : “Lady, I’ll even sweepyour curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you willhave the prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach, Florida.”
Woman: No, thank you.  Read more... (237 words, 0 images, estimated 57 secs reading time)
