ORANG BODOH VS ORANG PINTAR

Image
ORANG BODOH VS ORANG PINTAR By Mario Teguh Orang bodoh sulit dapat kerja, akhirnya berbisnis... Agar bisnisnya berhasil, tentu dia harus rekrut orang pintar. Walhasil boss-nya orang pintar adalah orang bodoh. Orang bodoh sering melakukan kesalahan, maka dia rekrut orang pintar yang tidak pernah salah untuk memperbaiki yang salah. Walhasil orang bodoh memerintahkan orang pintar untuk keperluan orang bodoh. Orang pintar belajar untuk mendapatkan ijazah untuk selanjutnya mencari kerja. Orang bodoh berpikir secepatnya mendapatkan uang untuk membayari proposal yang diajukan orang pintar. Orang bodoh tidak bisa membuat teks pidato, maka dia menyuruh orang pintar untuk membuatnya. Orang bodoh kayaknya susah untuk lulus sekolah hukum (SH). Oleh karena itu orang bodoh memerintahkan orang pintar untuk membuat undang-undangnya orang bodoh. Orang bodoh biasanya jago cuap-cuap jual omongan, sementara itu orang pintar percaya. Tapi selanjutnya orang pintar menyesal karena telah mempercayai orang bod...

Wii

Product Reviews Amazon.com Nintendo's Wii video game system (pronounced "we") brings people of all ages and video game experience together to play. This simple yet ground breaking idea is expressed not only though the system's evocative name, which is easily pronounced in a variety of languages, and suggests two players side by side, but also through its innovative list of features and extensive list of playable titles. Wii with Wii Remote. View larger.A Little Box With Plenty of Power As with every console, much of the buzz surrounds the specs. The Wii boasts 512 MB of internal flash memory, two USB 2.0 ports, and a slot for SD memory expansion. The system’s technological heart -- a processing chip developed with IBM and code-named "Broadway" and a graphics chipset from ATI code-named "Hollywood" -- deliver stunning performance. And instead of a tray, Wii uses a single, self-loading media bay that plays both 12-centimeter optical discs used for th...

How I Became a Famous Novelist

Product Reviews Amazon.com Review Amazon Best of the Month, July 2009: Steve Hely's satiric novel masquerades as the tell-all memoir of Pete Tarslaw, author of the runaway bestseller The Tornado Ashes Club who's become a lit-world pariah. Two years out of college, Pete still moons after the brilliant Polly Pawson, who dropped him post-graduation for law school. His hygiene and motivation have degraded such that he's accumulating beer bottles next to his bed as convenient substitutes for the toilet. His dubious job transforming the convoluted prose of wealthy foreign students into earnest college entrance essays depresses him, more for its lack of prestige than any ethical implications. When Polly announces her engagement in a gleeful mass email, Pete's desire to upstage her at the wedding inflames his obsession with the fame, fortune, and female attention enjoyed by bestselling authors--clever charlatans, in his estimation. What follows is Pete's exposé of the Machi...

Product Reviews Now the battle for the soul of the planet Safehold has begun.The Kingdom of Charis and the Kingdom of Chisholm have joined together, pledged to stand against the tyranny of a corrupt Church. The youthful Queen Sharleyan of Chisholm has wed King Cayleb of Charis, forging a single dynasty, a single empire, dedicated to the defense of human freedom. Crowned Empress of that empire, Sharleyan has found in Cayleb’s arms the love she never dared hope for in a “marriage of state.” In Cayleb’s cause, his defiance of the ruthless Group of Four who govern mother Church, she has found the task to which she can commit her mind and her courage. It is a cause for which she was born. Yet there are things Sharleyan still does not know. Secrets Cayleb has not been permitted to share, even with her. Secrets like the true story of humanity on Safehold. Like the intricate web of lies, deception, and fabricated “religion” which have chained humanity for almost a thousand years. Like the exis...
