現如今,技術的進步讓我們的生活越來越便捷,微信讓我們隨時溝通,網購讓我們足不出戶買遍全球……
但有一個事實很容易被我們忽略 — 生活的種種難題往往不是外部環境導致的,而是我們在自尋煩惱。
所以,我們要學會給生活做減法。把那些瑣碎的念頭像雜草一樣從大腦中剷除,你就會感到心曠神怡,清風自來~

Don't complicate your life不要把生活複雜化
British business magnate Richard Branson teaches us that the desire to complicate things is your enemy. Everyone can create something complex. It's hard to do something simple.
英國商業巨頭理察·布蘭森教導我們,把簡單的事情複雜化就是在給自己樹敵。簡化生活並非易事,每個人都可能把生活複雜化。
Progress has simplified communication, shopping and cleaning the house for us. However, often the difficulties in life are provoked not by external circumstances, but by ourselves.
文明的進步已經使得我們溝通交流、購物和打掃房間等事情得到簡化。然而,生活的種種難題往往不是外部環境導致的,而是我們在自尋煩惱。
Somebody complicates their lives through the sense of guilt, others through unpleasant people with whom they have to communicate or through the desire to please everyone. Remember this, a person must breathe, drink water and eat in order not to die if he wants to live. That's it, there should be no must in any other situations.
有些人因為內心愧疚而惴惴不安,有些人由於對方的怨天尤人而心生厭倦,還有些人為了取悅他人而委曲求全。記住,人活著,能夠呼吸、飲水和進食就不會死去,就這麼簡單,其他的都不是什麼天大的事兒。
