為生命找出口，不為失敗找藉口。
有一次上「時間管理」的課程，我問大家：「各位覺得自己的時間大多浪費在哪兒？」
一位小姐遞了一張紙條過來，上面寫著－－我家住在桃園，公司在台北，每天來回必須花三小時在車上；雖然有座位，但是車上很吵，搖晃得很厲害，所以我不能在車上聽音樂、看書。
我不想搬家，也不想換工作，更不願自己開車，前一天我總是睡得很飽，所以不必在車上補眠。請問我該如何節省這每天三小時？
這位小姐的題目有挑戰老師的味道。
我是這麼回答的－－在時間管理上，我們必須分辨：哪些事情是我們可以掌握的？哪些事情是我們不能掌握的？
車上很吵，車子搖晃，這不是我們所能掌握的，自己能夠掌握的，就只有換工作、搬家或自己開車。
也許想要和家人同住，所以不想搬家，這是可以理解的；自己很喜歡這份工作，捨不得換工作，也是可以被接受的。
不換工作、不搬家、無法自己開車在車上聽錄音帶，剩下比較可以改變的，只有前一天少睡一、二小時，利用這少睡的時間看書、準備功課、運動，然後，第二天再利用在車上的時間補眠。
可是這位小姐竟然每天在家還睡得飽飽的，第二天反而在車上發呆，別人還能提供什麼好方法呢？
基督教有一句話說：「上帝關了這扇門，會在另一個地方再開一扇窗。」
當別人把自己的去路堵住時，一般人都會想辦法找別的出路；而這位小姐一再的把可能的解決方法都堵住，別人可就幫不上忙了。
電影「侏羅紀公園」有一句話：「生命總會找到牠的出口」。
我也很喜歡這句話...我覺得這句話不但適合描述恐龍，更適合用在人類身上。
我們要為自己的生命找出口，而不是為自己的失敗找藉口。

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.
