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!
