在这纷繁复杂的世界里，极简生活之道，不过是一颗放松的心灵，拥抱简单。

In this complex and intricate world, the path of minimalist living is simply a relaxed mind embracing simplicity.

1. 很多人的人生就像这只蝜蝂， 自己的欲望太大，背负的东西太多，给自己的压力太大，一辈子都在负重前行，不愿意放下，不敢休息，不敢拒绝，让自己一直处于痛苦之中，无法自拔。

1. Many people's lives are like that of this蝉螳螂, with their desires too great, carrying too much burden, and placing too much pressure on themselves. They spend their entire lives carrying heavy loads, unwilling to let go,不敢 rest,不敢 refuse, thus staying in constant pain and unable to extricate themselves.

2. 那么应该怎样读书呢：1选定一个方向、2找出这个领域的经典书籍、3不要着急，好好地读。所以，秘诀不是在于读了多少，而是书多大程度上改变了你。如果前面的文字你都没看，看到这一段也就可以了。

2. How should one read books: 1. Choose a direction, 2. Find classic books in that field, 3. Don't rush, read well. So, the secret is not how many books you read, but how much the books change you. If you haven't read the previous text, it's enough to read this paragraph.

3. 简单，才能从容。人这一生，有时候，会想很多事，反复咀嚼。然而，想得太多，就容易让自己难过，阻碍自己前进。思虑过盛，会忧心忡忡，多愁善感，特别敏感，甚至抑郁。

3. Simplicity is the key to ease. In this life, sometimes, people tend to overthink and ruminate on many things. However, overthinking often leads to self-sorrow and hinders one's progress. Excessive pondering can cause worry, melancholy, being overly sensitive, and even depression.

4. 极简生活的前提是物品足够少，而不是整理。精简了那么多衣服，为什么家里还这么拥挤。我告诉他，因为你家的家具太大了、太多了，太占空间。想一想衣柜才多大，但是沙发、茶几、电视柜、桌椅板凳占据了多少空间。

4. The premise of minimalist living is not about tidying up, but rather having enough fewer items. Why is your home still so crowded after you've simplified so many clothes? I told him that it's because the furniture in your home is too large, too numerous, and takes up too much space. Think about how small a wardrobe is, but how much space the sofa, coffee table, TV cabinet, and chairs and tables occupy.

5. 细心留意，你会发现，在我们身边，那些最容易触动我们心弦的东西往往却是那么的简单。

5. Pay close attention, and you will find that the things around us that are most likely to touch our hearts are often so simple.

6. 杨绛先生说：“时间在变，人也在变；背不动的，要放下；伤不起的，要看淡；想不通的，要和解；恨不过的，要抚平。人生，就是一个修炼的过程，何必用这一颗不平的心看待人和事，作践了自己，辜负了岁月。”

6. Mr. Yang Jiang said: "Time changes, and so do people; what you can't bear, let it go; what you can't bear to hurt, learn to take lightly; what you can't understand, seek reconciliation; what you can't forgive, try to smooth it over. Life is a process of cultivation, why should you view people and things with an unjustified heart, mistreat yourself, and let the years pass in vain."

7. 相信你看了这六点后会明白，随着你从生活中拿掉的东西越来越多，保留的越来越少，你会越来越清楚什么才是你真正在乎的。

7. I believe that after reading these six points, you will understand that as you remove more things from your life and retain less, you will become increasingly clear about what it is that you truly care about.

8. 当我们不再将工作任务堆积起来，而是分门别类，划出轻重缓急，有的放矢的时候，我们就会将其完成得更为出色，保质保量。

8. When we stop piling up work tasks and instead categorize them, prioritize their urgency, and aim our efforts accordingly, we will accomplish them more excellently, ensuring both quality and quantity.

9. 用瓷杯、钢杯代替纸杯。整合、精简电源线、充电设备。

9. Replace paper cups with porcelain and steel cups. Integrate and streamline power cables and charging equipment.

10. 人活一辈子，和一只蚂蚁，一粒灰尘，一片树叶，没有任何区别，没有必须要实现的目标，没有一定要抵达的远方，放下背不动的东西，量力而行，顺其自然。

10. In a lifetime, a person has no distinction from an ant, a grain of dust, or a leaf, with no necessary goals to achieve or a distant destination to reach. Let go of the things that are too heavy to carry, act according to one's abilities, and let nature take its course.

11. 有时候我们太看重所谓的人际关系技巧、管理知识、做人做事须知等。但不要忘记了，所有的这些都有一个基础，就是你的专业能力，端什么饭碗，靠什么吃饭。没有了这个，其他的都是无本之木，追求它就是舍本逐末。专业能力越强，其他所谓的技巧就需要得越少，生活也就越简单。在某一领域做到出类拔萃，可以允许你以自己喜欢的方式去生活。工作上的郁闷情绪不是单单来自工作本身。老板封闭的办公室、文化差异压力，这些都会成为你的负担，而做药出类拔萃，就可在很大程度上提升对这些事项的支配权。人一定要形成自己的核心竞争力，这样市场的配置资源的时候第一时间就会想到你，所以第一是寻找空隙，第二是在这个空隙发挥才华。

11. Sometimes we place too much emphasis on so-called interpersonal skills, management knowledge, and what one should know about being a person and doing things. But don't forget that all of these have a foundation, which is your professional ability – what kind of bowl you are holding and what you are living off. Without this, everything else is like a tree without roots; chasing after it is the act of neglecting the essence for the sake of the superficial. The stronger your professional ability, the fewer of these so-called skills you need, and life becomes simpler. Being outstanding in a particular field allows you to live in the way you like. The frustration in work is not solely derived from the work itself. The boss's closed office, cultural differences, and pressures can all become your burden. But if you excel in the pharmaceutical field, you can greatly enhance your control over these matters. One must cultivate their own core competitive advantage. This way, when the market allocates resources, it will think of you first. So, the first step is to find a gap, and the second step is to demonstrate your talent in that gap.

12. 非常通透的一段话：“活在当下，不计得失，以无为之心做有为之事。心无所求，万物皆美；心若宁静，智慧便生。

12. A very insightful passage: "Live in the present, without attachment to gain or loss, and do things with a mind of non-action. With a mind that seeks nothing, all things are beautiful; with a tranquil mind, wisdom arises."

13. 要有一定社交，避免成为宅女，参见各种兴趣小组或俱乐部聚会，自己策划相关聚会，每周与好友一起交流。

13. Maintain a certain level of social interaction to avoid becoming a hermit, participate in various interest groups or club gatherings, plan relevant gatherings yourself, and communicate with good friends weekly.

14. 不囤东西，不用便宜货、次品。用布袋，代替塑料袋和纸袋。

14. Do not hoard things, do not use cheap or defective items. Use cloth bags instead of plastic bags and paper bags.

15. 极简主义就是要通过砍掉生活中一些东西，来减少这些明显弊大于利的事情，从而改善你的生活，以下六个极简希望能给你启示！

15. Minimalism is about cutting down on certain things in life to reduce the things that have more drawbacks than benefits, thereby improving your life. Here are six minimalist principles that I hope will inspire you!

16. 极简的原则：第一个原则就是此刻、第二个原则是喜欢、第三个原则就是最少、第四个原则就是自我、第五个原则就是，极简是在广度上简，不是在深度上简。一旦确立了自己的风格和喜好之后，要在这个方向上做到最好，我要在我的经济承受范围内买适合我的最好的衣服、最好的包，选择最好的爱人。它不是让你同时有很多爱人，它是让你有一个爱人，但是爱得彻底。

16. The Principles of Simplicity: The first principle is the present moment, the second principle is liking, the third principle is the least, the fourth principle is self, and the fifth principle is that simplicity is about simplicity in breadth, not in depth. Once you establish your style and preferences, you should strive to be the best in this direction. I want to buy the best clothes, the best bags that suit me within my economic capacity, choose the best lover. It is not about having many lovers at the same time, but about having one lover and loving them completely.

17. 家具多会占据家里打大部分面积，卧室是睡觉用，只有床铺和衣柜是必备的。家具能小则小，能动则动，能一物多用则一物多用。

17. Furniture tends to occupy a large area in the home. The bedroom is used for sleeping, and only the bed and wardrobe are essential. Furniture should be as small as possible, as mobile as possible, and as multifunctional as possible.

18. 懒惰，知行合一，知而不行犹如未知，既然没有大志向，缺少一些积累，有一些骄傲，但只要紧紧抓住勤，也能有所成就。

18. Laziness, the unity of knowledge and action; knowing but not acting is as if one does not know. Since there is no great ambition, a lack of accumulation, and a touch of pride, but as long as one tightly grasps diligence, one can still achieve something.

19. 所谓高手，从来不是在短时间内能做更多的事情的人，而是那些不给自己设置更多的限制和留有太多的选择的人。很多时候，越简单，越高效；越高效，越聪明；越聪明，越智慧。

， 19. So called experts are not those who can do more things in a short period of time, but those who do not impose more limitations on themselves and leave too many choices. Often times, the simpler, the more efficient; the more efficient, the smarter; the smarter, the wiser.

20. 想一想，我们生活在一个舒服的空间，有一个和睦的家庭，一份喜欢的工作，有一两个知己，深信某一个信念，有一个爱好，这样的人生，还有什么可遗憾的，这就是极简生活所追求的所有、所追求的最高。

20. Think about it, we live in a comfortable space, have a harmonious family, a job we enjoy, one or two close friends, firmly believe in a certain belief, have a hobby. What more could one possibly regret in such a life? This is all that minimalism seeks and the highest pursuit it aims for.

21. 将家中超过一年不用的物品丢弃、送人、出售或捐赠。比如看过的杂志、书，不再穿的衣服，早先收到的各种礼物或装饰品。

21. Dispose of, give away, sell, or donate items that have not been used in the home for over a year. For example, magazines and books that have been read, clothes that are no longer worn, various gifts or decorations received earlier.

22. 断舍离、极简是要通过减法，找到自己真正热爱的人、事、物。试想终日与爱相伴，多开心啊。

22. Decluttering and minimalism aim to find the people, things, and activities you truly love through subtraction. Imagine spending your days surrounded by love—it would be so delightful.

23. 社交网络频繁使用者情绪低落的可能是不频繁使用者的27倍

23. The likelihood of social media heavy users feeling low is 27 times higher than that of infrequent users.

24. 很多时候，越是高级的东西越是简单。比如演奏，没有多余的动作和表情，也没有任何的矫揉和造作，便可以让乐曲直击听众的心灵，引起共鸣；例如歌声，没有刻意的转音，也没有夸张的嘶吼，便可以让声音穿越时空，触摸感情。

24. Often times, the more sophisticated something is, the simpler it tends to be. For example, in music performance, without any extra movements or expressions, and without any exaggerated or forced gestures, the music can directly touch the hearts of the audience and evoke resonance; as for singing, without any deliberate tone shifts or exaggerated shouts, the voice can still transcend time and space, touching the emotions.

25. 想改变做到三不一看：①吃饭不玩手机、②手机不进卧室、③上厕所不带手机、④每天固定时间看手机

25. To make changes, follow the "Three No's and One Look": ① Do not use your phone while eating; ② Do not bring your phone into the bedroom; ③ Do not carry your phone when using the toilet; ④ Look at your phone at a fixed time every day.

26. 我们所有的上瘾行为，都可以理解为两种原因。第一种是逃避，大部分时候是因为生活压力过大，在上瘾的习惯里，能够短暂地脱离原来的生活空间，获得一种假性的轻松感。第二种是空虚，如果你的时间不能被自己热爱的事情所占领，那么只能刷手机打发时间。

26. All of our addictive behaviors can be understood as stemming from two reasons. The first is escape, which is mostly due to excessive life pressure. In the habit of addiction, one can temporarily脱离 the original living space and obtain a false sense of ease. The second is emptiness; if your time cannot be occupied by things you love, then you can only kill time by browsing your phone.

27. 定期清理朋友圈，不要在无效社交上浪费太多时间。

27. Regularly clean up your social circle, don't waste too much time on ineffective social interactions.

28. 一旦我们拥有了某样东西，从那一刻起，我们也被这个东西所拥有。一旦这些物品超过了必要的限度，我们就被拥有的物品所拥有，成了物品的奴隶。

28. Once we possess something, from that moment on, we are also possessed by that thing. Once these possessions exceed the necessary limit, we are possessed by the things we own, becoming slaves to the items.

29. 极简的三种境界：①扔掉所有不喜欢的，扔掉所有好像喜欢好像不喜欢的，只留下喜欢的，用喜欢的人事物一起，自然欢乐； ②有欢喜的知己，可以开怀大笑，可以相拥而泣，那么物品是否欢喜已经不那么重要；③放下对一切外在的依赖，家徒四壁，席地而卧，且饮且歌，自由自在。

29. The three levels of minimalism: ① Discard everything you don't like, and discard things that seem to be liked or disliked, only keep what you like, and use the likes together, naturally joyful; ② With friends who bring joy, you can laugh heartily, or hold each other in tears, then the joy of items becomes less important; ③ Let go of all external dependencies, live with nothing but the walls, lie on the ground, drink and sing, and enjoy freedom and ease.

30. 人生一辈子，不管你多牛，多厉害，多了不起，以后都要走进坟墓，归于亘古的黑暗和虚无。这个世界上什么都不是你的，任何事都不值得你耿耿于怀。不要给自己那么多的压力和痛苦，学会放下，才能活得云淡风轻，从容不迫。

30. Throughout one's life, no matter how great, formidable, or remarkable you may be, in the end, you will all walk into the grave, returning to the eternal darkness and nothingness. Nothing in this world belongs to you, and nothing is worth holding onto with a grudge. Don't burden yourself with too much pressure and pain; learn to let go, and only then can you live a life that is serene and unburdened, composed and untroubled.

31. 制订计划的第一个原则是要少而精，人的资源和精力都是有限的，要聚焦在为数不多的目标上面，贪多嚼不烂。设立过多的目标，非常容易分散精力，最后可能一个也没达到，反而适得其反，把目前对自己的发展影响最大的拿出来进行自律，比如目前是赚钱，那么一切不利于赚钱的坏习惯都要改掉，比如懒惰拖拉浪费时间等。不要同时定七八个目标，看似万马奔腾，其实虚张声势，度过最初的激情，下面就难以为继。

31. The first principle in formulating a plan is to aim for quality over quantity. Human resources and energy are limited, so focus should be on a small number of goals, as trying to accomplish too much can lead to indigestion. Setting too many goals can easily scatter one's energy, and in the end, it may result in not achieving any of them, which is counterproductive. Take the factor that currently has the greatest impact on one's development and exercise self-discipline, for example, if the current goal is to make money, then all bad habits that are不利于 making money should be changed, such as laziness, procrastination, and wasting time. Do not set seven or eight goals at the same time, as it may seem like a grand spectacle, but it is actually pretense. After the initial passion wears off, it will be difficult to sustain.

32. 有时候不能够很快地扔掉不喜欢的东西，可能是太闲，有太多时间与这些无用的东西纠缠，如果有充满激情的生活，有热烈的爱情，有喜欢的工作以及闺蜜和基友，哪有时间纠结要不要扔东西呢，一天时间只有24小时，不被好的占有，就被坏的侵袭。

32. Sometimes, it's hard to quickly discard things we don't like, perhaps because we are too idle, spending too much time entangled with these useless items. If one leads a passionate life, has a fervent love, enjoys their work, and has close friends and confidants, who has the time to worry about whether to throw things away? A day only has 24 hours; if it's not occupied by the good, it will be invaded by the bad.

33. 定期远离互联网、远离手机，避免信息骚扰。不关注与己无关的娱乐、社会新闻。

33. Regularly disconnect from the internet and stay away from your phone to avoid information harassment. Do not pay attention to entertainment and social news that are irrelevant to you.
