Is it too dark inside?
One day, Nasreddin Hodja started
to search something very carefully in front of
his house.
His passion and concentration was so inviting
that his neighbors could not help themselves to
join him. He was looking for his needle. A Hodja
looking for a needle...
After many hours of fruitless yet exhausting
search, one of his neighbors asked, where exactly
do you think you dropped the needle?
Hodja said in my room.
So, why are you searching outside?
Hodja smiled, because it's too dark inside!
I recommend my readers to learn more about Nasreddin
from any of the relevant books or web pages. When
things go wrong and you start to blame 'others'
ask yourself this question "is it too dark
inside".

Beautiful, and it proves that things are not always where you expect them to be.
