Steven Wright Job Interview Truth

I was watching Steven Wright and he told a joke in an interesting way. He was in a job interview and pulled out a book. A clear sign he is bored with the interviewees questions, and obviously the interviewee is offended, and asks, "What are you doing?"

So Steven asks, "Let me ask you a question, if you were in your vehicle going the speed of light and turned on the headlights, would they do anything?"

The interviewee said, "I don't know." 

Then he said, "Good, cause I didn't want to work here anyway." And that is exactly how I feel. 

I want to ask perplexing questions and brainstorm answers, not hear, "I don't know" from business leaders. 

Here is my answer:

What would happen is, the lights would turn on and you would see in front of you. 

If you are in the vehicle traveling the same speed, then nothing would change traveling as fast as the speed of light as traveling 55mph down the highway. 

Because time is relative. It happens at the same time as you. Objects that are stationary, as in Star Trek or Star Wars would blur at warp speed, but everything you experience inside the object moving that fast will seem the same speed. Even the headlights. 

Although, if you would have time to turn them on going the speed of light in the first place, is a different question?

The Death Of The Store

People want to learn, they don't want to be told, they do want to be entertained, but to sell to someone is to teach them how to use it. That is why Sears went out of business. A company use to hire salespeople who knew how to use the tools, those salespeople taught the customer how to use the tools, and then the customer felt comfortable buying the tools. People made a living at doing this. When that went away, when Sears just hired people willing to work for nine dollars an hour, take the tools or leave them, I get paid regardless attitude. They lost their customers. They sent them to learn how to use those tools on the internet through How-To blogs and YouTube videos, and while there, on the internet, they were a click away from buying them online, with no need to go to the store. And this how stores still hire people today, and that same attitude persists, thus they want to lower wages because they think, "No one works hard anymore." So one day when you look around and ask yourself, "What happened to all the stores?" You will know, the store is dead, because all the teachers found a better job on the internet.
