Help the Old Lady

New York City's hustle and bustle is no match for you - in this case you're an aspiring entrepreneur on your way to an important event.

You hurry down the apartment down to the street and make your way to the office around the block, where you'll be meeting up with prospective clients.

It's now 4:58 PM, and your meeting's set at five. The fact that you haven't arrived ten minutes before the set time is ugly enough; your clients must've been in the office ages ago.

You're walking around the block when you notice an old lady on the sidewalk. She's obviously trying to get to the other side, but with all this traffic, she's not willing to take any risks.

Ever the kind-hearted person you are, your heart is shouting, wanting to help the old lady. Your wallet, on the other hand, is screaming at you to hurry to the office lest you lose important clients.

Your TIMEX says it's officially 5:00 PM; you've lost enough points with your clients, already. But no-one else looks like they're willing to help the old lady.

If you were this guy, would you carry on to your meeting, or take some time off to help the old lady?

It is very important to remember that you have a choice to make: probably lose some clients to give way to your conscience, or throw your kindness away to keep your business alive. which would you do?
