Funny Works: Mullah Nasruddin:
"A certain man asked Mullah Nasruddin,
- What is the meaning of fate, Mullah Nasruddin ?
- Assumptions, Mullah Nasruddin replied.
- In what way? the man asked again.
Mullah Nasruddin looked at him and said,
- You assume things are going to go well, and they don't - that you call bad luck. You assume things are going to go badly and they don't - that you call good luck. You assume that certain things are going to happen or not happen - and you so lack intuition that you don't know what is going to happen. You assume that the future is unknown. When you are caught out - you call that Fate."
