The story about Mulla Nasruddin
There was a shooting contest and Mulla Nasruddin, being the greatest master of his age, suddenly decided to participate in the contest. Each person had three arrows with which to hit the bull's eye, which was about one hundreds meters away. As word spread that this great Sufi master was going to participate, thousands came and packed the area where the archery contest where being held.
Mulla Nasruddin picked up the bow, the first arrow, took his stance, checked the direction of the wind, checked the string and the strength of the string, pulled down his cap, took very careful aim at the bull's eye and let the arrow fly. Unfortunately for him the arrow went way of its mark. There was a twitter and giggle from the crowd, "The great master misses the mark!" Mulla Naasruddin had a very intelligent discipline. The discipline thought, "There must be a reason why my master misses his mark." So he said, "Master, can you explain why your arrow went wide off its mark?" Mulla Nasruddin thanked his discipline for saving him and said, "Yes, I can explain. The person who shot the arrow was over-confident and an over-confident person misses the mark many times."
It was time for the second arrow to fly and Mulla Nasruddin again took aim, but this time he was nervous. He let the arrow fly. The arrow flew half way and then dropped down. The intelligent discipline again said, "Master can you explain who the person was who shot the second arrow?" Mulla Nasruddin said, "Yes, I can explain. This was the under-confident one who thinks, 'I can't achieve my goal at any time'." The crowd started clap at these beautiful words of wisdom.
It was time for the third arrow to fly. Mulla simply picked it up and 'bang!', it hit the bull's-eye. Very proudly Mulla went to collect the price and marched off. The discipline again said, "Master, before you March off with the price, please tell us who shot the third arrow?" And Mulla said, "That was me."
