MULLA NAZARUDIN STORY

MULLA NAZARUDIN STORY

Mullah Nazrudin was told by his wife to get four donkeys and she gave him four gold coins.

Mullah went to the market, bought four donkeys and sat on one of them and was coming back.

As he was nearing his house, he realized that he was lost in his self-talk and wanted to make sure he had the four donkeys. He counted but there were only three as he missed counting the fourth donkey, on which he was seated. He got worried. When he reached his home, his wife was waiting on the doorstep. Before she could open the mouth Mullah confessed, ‘I know you told me to get four donkeys and since I was lost in my self talk, the fourth one is missing, so I could bring home only three donkeys’.

For the first time his wife smiled and said ‘I don’t see three donkeys but I see five donkeys’.

We miss the obvious.

We have the intelligence in us and like Mullah we don’t own what we have. Use this intelligence to solve problems. Be like a player; when the opponent takes the ball, he goes after it like a game with a challenging attitude. Life is like a game. Play it wisely and enjoy it. Treat problems like a challenge. In the midst of a challenge, your body, mind and sprit should be alert and alive. One should be more enthusiastic in the midst of a problem, like a player.
