The Mind-Reader
Once
at a crossroad, Mulla Nasruddin Hodja saw a portly nobleman riding towards him.
"I
say, Mulla," said the man. "Which is the way to the palace?"
"How
did you know I was a Mulla?" asked Hodja. The nobleman had a habit of
addressing every scholarly-looking man as "Mulla," which was a title
given to learned men and meant "master" but he didn’t want to tell
Hodja that.
"How
did I know?" he bragged. "Well, I’m a mind-reader, that’s how."
"Pleased
to meet you," said Hodja. "As to your question, read my mind and
proceed."
The
Road to Success is not straight: There is a curve called failure, a loop
called confusion, speed bumps called friends, caution lights called family, and
you will have flats called jobs.
But,
if you have a spare called determination, an engine called perseverance,
insurance called faith, and a driver called God, you will make it to a place
called success!
