The Wise Man Does not Have Him Ruled and Does not Reign Others

The long-life human life on earth has left the history of the characters in various fields of expertise with the various attitudes of life. Among them are those who live in their wisdom to become teachers for themselves and society, both in their lifetime and after they die.

In this paper the author discusses thoughts that move a person's life from two sides. The first side of his motivation to reach the success of life in the world, and the second side about the way people are happy in his life.
He. First Side, Success in Life

Among them the opinion of a philosopher who lived a few centuries ago in China called Confucius. This philosopher issued a statement that read, "Our greatest pride is not never fail, but rise again every time we fall."
In later times, scientist Thomas Alva Edison, issued a statement that says, "Many failures in this life because people do not realize how close they are to success when they give up".

The sentence is about a person's life motivation that Edison thinks people fail because they give up too quickly. The person who succeeds in his life understands this opinion even though he never read Edison's opinion because there are others who motivate him with similar sentences. This is because most wise men express similar opinions to Edison, and the person who listens to them can find for themselves something close to the truth, because everyone who is willing to think in peace will find it easier to get inspiration from the creator.

The same page also broadcast the opinion of the legendary boxing of the world from the United States, Muhammad Ali, who argues, "The lack of confidence that makes people afraid to face challenges; And I believe in myself ".
The opinion of Muhammad Ali who died in 2016 is close to Edison's earlier opinion, but Edison focuses on business persistence, while Muhammad Ali emphasizes his courage in approaching the challenge.

I.b. Second Side, Making Life Happy
The other side of the philosopher's study of life is happiness, the essence of everyone's purpose in life. The Indian philosopher, Mahatma Gandhi, said, "Be you human beings at your birth everybody laughs happily, but only you are crying and at your death everyone is crying sad, but only you smile". This Mahatma statement is a summary of his own attitude of life that calls for peacemaking peace and brotherhood, no matter what the religion and tribe of the nation. While scientist named Albert Einstein stated, "Science without religion is crippled".

Finally, the way of life is also taught by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, a Sufi philosopher from modern-day Turkey. He states, "A person who sees good in many ways means having a good mind. And someone who has a good mind gets pleasure from life ".

Some of the above figures who come from different faiths and areas of expertise have almost the same views in the field of life value, ie doing good on the basis of religion or God to achieve peace and happiness. The attitude of life has put these people in a position not to be ordered by others and does not like to order others. They only offer voluntary advice.

These people are never willing to bow to a ruler or government and avoid government positions so that they do not take orders from others and do not order others. They make themselves as an example of what they say so that people follow it, both when they are alive and after they die because there are always people who continue to re-teach the words of wisdom from them.

The thoughtful wisdom of the characters has influenced others, both living in the same age or in later times. They affect others, either directly or indirectly. People are willing to learn and follow the advice of a wise man to be a wise man so that his life can be placed in a state not ordered by others and not ordered others. Therefore, to put ourselves in that position, it takes time to study a variety of opinions about wisdom and try to practice it gradually because changing the attitude of life to be better requires a hard effort.

If one does not make time to improve his way of life to be in wisdom, he will be caught in a state in which he is in the shadow of the influence of others, either the official ruler or the general dispenser. In general, that's what happens to most people, that they live not exactly what they want. That, mentioned, can be improved by learning and applying the advice of the wise before.

Given that mentioned by Mahatma Ghandi above, that everyone is advised to do good for fellow human beings and the universe during his life, so that happiness is brought the spirit throughout the ages. However, being a good man without religion, as Einstein says, will not be perfect.

Most philosophers are calling on mankind to bring peace and believe in God because of life after death. Life after the world, according to them, is a life formed according to the charity and principle of one's life during being in this life, called the day of vengeance.

Therefore, those who have succeeded in improving their souls, he can not be commanded by others or by worldly things, for example, his decision about something is merely because of the truth he believes in, not because he wants to get something else like position or possessions.

If this attitude can be applied, then the person is able to order himself so that others can no longer order it. It also affects the other side, that is, he has no desire to command others to look powerful or have a higher degree of life. It is estimated that if there are such wise people in a country, then civilization in that country will be at a high level, which is expected to be the hope of every nation in the world. To be united with nature and to follow its law is the happiness of life that can only be achieved by choosing the way of life as the philosophers, who have been able to free themselves from the false desire, so that he can live happily because nobody orders him and he does not need to order others.
