There was a philosopher who boarded a small boat somewhere. Feeling tired in the boat, and then he was looking for a sailor to discuss. Philosophers as the sailor, “Do you understand the philosophy?” “Do not understand”, replied the sailor. “Hmm unfortunately, you have lost half of your life”, said the philosopher.

The philosopher asked again, “Do you understand the math?” “Do not get it either”, replied the sailor. The philosopher shook his head and said, “Unfortunately, even you do not understand the math. That means you’ve lost another half of your life.”

Suddenly there are large waves, making that boat adrift. The boat has the water in and will sink. The philosopher is fear. Instantly the sailor asked the philosopher, ”Sir, can you swim?” Philosopher quickly shook his head and said, “I can’t, help me quick”. Sailor laughed at him and said, “You can’t swim, what is the meaning of your life? It means that you will lose all your life.”


Everyone actually has advantages and disadvantages of each. Proud of the ability was only natural, but do not make you become arrogant and conceited. Remember, there’s always people who smarter than us. We also still need to learn from the others ability.
