Di suatu padepokan di Tiongkok pernah hidup seorang GURU yg sangat dihormati karena tegas & jujur suatu hari, 2 murid menghadap GURU. Mereka bertengkar hebat & nyaris beradu fisik keduanya berdebat tentang hitungan 3 x 7.
Murid pandai mengatakan hasilnya 21, murid bodoh bersikukuh mengatakan hasilnya 27. Murid bodoh menentang murid pandai untuk meminta GURU sebagai jurinya untuk mengetahui siapa yang benar diantara mereka, sambil si bodoh mengatakan : “jika saya yang benar 3 x 7 = 27 maka engkau harus dicambuk 10 kali oleh GURU, tetapi kalau kamu yang benar ( 3 x 7 = 21 ) maka saya akan bersedia untuk memenggal kepala saya sendiri ha ha ha..,” demikianlah si bodoh menantang dengan sangat yakin dengan pendapatnya.
“katakan GURU mana yang benar ?” Tanya murid bodoh. Ternyata GURU menjawab memvonis cambuk 10x bagi murid yang pandai ( orang yg menjawab 21). Si murid pandai protes. Sang guru ini menjawab, “hukuman ini Bukan untuk hasil hitunganmu, tapi KETIDAK ARIFANmu yg mau-maunya berdebat dengan orang bodoh yg tdk tau kalau 3x7 adalah 21!!”
Guru melanjutkan : lebih baik melihatmu dicambuk dan menjadi ARIF daripada GURU harus melihat 1 nyawa terbuang sia sia !
Pesan Moral,
Jika kita sibuk memperdebatkan sesuatu yg tak berguna, berarti kita juga sama salahnya atau bahkan lebih salah daripada orang yg memulai perdebatan, Sebab dgn sadar kita membuang waktu & energi untuk hal yg tidak perlu.bukankah kita sering mengalaminya?
Bisa terjadi dgn pasangan hidup tetangga, kolega. Berdebat atau bertengkar untuk hal yg tidak ada gunanya, hanya akan menguras energi percuma.
Ada saatnya kita diam untuk menghindari perdebatan sia-sia. Diam bukan berarti kalah, bukan? Memang bukan hal yg mudah, tapi janganlah sekali-kali berdebat dgn orang bodoh yg tidak menguasai permasalahan.
“MERUPAKAN SUATU KEARIFAN BAGI ORANG YANG BISA MENGENDALIKAN DIRI & MENGHINDARI KEMARAHAN ATAS SUATU KEBODOHAN.”
BERSATULAH sINDONESIA..

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
