如何使生活简单些

本文摘自quora.com.

jsut say no

人们通常碍于拒绝别人的要求:

忍受与反抗，人们对后者的恐惧更大。 -- 龙纹身的女孩

成百上千的电视节目，数不清的quora话题，自由且无所不在又包容了人类所有知识的电脑网络，要拒绝这些东西是困难的。

与从前不同，当今互联网包容了整个世界的一切。我不认识你，但也发觉一切都在分散精力。-- Dave Gorman

要发现自我，找到简单 -- 你需要对与你无关的事说不。除去一些少有的例外，把说不作为第一反应。

这需要勇气，做起来也并非容易。但为了更加简单且深刻的生活，值得去做。

It's hard to resist the lure of other people's requests:

"The fear of offending can be stronger than the fear of pain"
- Girl with a Dragon Tattoo

It's hard to resist the siren call of a thousand TV channels, a million Quora posts and a free, ubiquitous computer network overflowing with the sum of humanity's knowledge:

“The Internet contains everything in the whole wide world ever. I don’t know about you, but I find everything in the whole wide world ever to be a bit distracting.” – Dave Gorman

But to find yourself, to find simplicity - you need to say no to everything that doesn't matter. Practice saying no to everything by default, and making rare, precious exceptions.

It takes courage and isn't easy. But your life will be simpler and more profound.
