在探寻极致生活的征途上，唯有放下执念，无欲无求，方能寻得心灵的宁静与自在。

On the journey to seek the ultimate life, it is only by letting go of attachments and having no desires or ambitions that one can find the tranquility and ease of the mind.

4. 勤俭节约本是一种美德，但如果在物质还算得上充裕的现代生活中，仍要堆积很多无用的物品，舍不得清理，任它们占用生活空间，减少房屋内存，逐渐落满灰尘，而毫无用武之地，就得不偿失了。

4. Frugality and economy are a virtue, but if in a modern life where material abundance is relatively sufficient, one still accumulates many unnecessary items, is unwilling to clear them away, allows them to occupy living space, reduce the storage capacity of the house, gradually get dusty, and have no practical use, then it is not worth it.

5. 人生苦短，请放过自己吧，一事无成何妨，孤独终老何妨，生命的价值就是没有价值，人生的意义就是没有意义，宇宙间的所有生命都没有被赋予任何价值和意义。

5. Life is short, please forgive yourself. It's fine to have achieved nothing, to grow old alone; the value of life is that it has no value, and the meaning of life is that it has no meaning. All life in the universe has not been endowed with any value or meaning.

6. 一个人的住处，不需要多么奢华，一间屋子，一铺卧席，一张书桌，足矣！减少不必要的摆设，才能身轻心明。

6. One's living quarters do not need to be luxurious; a room, a bed, a desk, that is enough! Reducing unnecessary decorations can help one's body feel light and mind clear.

9. Just go with the flow, live however you feel happy.

10. 有些路，只能一个人走，那些邀约一起同行的人，一起相伴雨季，走过年华，但是有一天终究会在某个渡口离散。人生中有些事是不得不做的，于不得不做中勉强去做，是毁灭，于不得不做中做得好，是勇敢！

10. There are some paths that can only be walked alone. Those who invite you to walk with them, to share the rainy season, to pass through the years together, will eventually part ways at some ferry crossing. There are some things in life that one has no choice but to do. To force oneself to do what one has to do is destruction, but to do it well when one has to do it is bravery!

11. Broaden your perspective to the entire universe and time-space, and you will find that humans are actually pitifully insignificant.

12. 简，是一种淳朴的风格，不繁琐，不单调，展露着落拓不羁与世无争的仪态，简单的美犹如天边流云舒畅明快。

14. 著名心理学家马斯洛说，自我实现是一个人最顶级的需要。每个人都想实现自己的生命价值，都想扬眉吐气，出人头地，叱咤风云，光芒万丈，然而，现实生活中，绝大多数人都是碌碌无为者，拼尽全力勉强赚个温饱而已。

14. The famous psychologist Maslow said that self-actualization is the highest need of a person. Everyone wants to realize the value of their life, to stand out, to rise above others, to dominate the world, and to shine brilliantly. However, in reality, the vast majority of people are mere mediocrities, struggling hard just to earn a meager living.

15. 生活的智者都经过岁月的积淀，懂得避开喧嚣而悠闲的生活，生活简约而又意象万千。他们活得心平而气静，心间舒朗，行走之间从容淡定；他们舍得丢下尘世间的一切，不炫耀拥有，不贪恋奢华，不痴迷权势，只是静静地安享内心的清简与素净。

15. The wise in life have been seasoned by the passage of time, knowing how to lead a leisurely life away from the hustle and bustle, simple yet rich in imagery. They live with a peaceful heart and a tranquil demeanor, with a clear mind, walking with composure and serenity; they are willing to let go of all the trappings of the world, not boasting of their possessions, not longing for luxury, not obsessed with power, but simply enjoying the simplicity and purity of their inner world.

16. 世界很大，人生很短，没有必要把一些事情看得那么重要，疼痛，悲哀，谁都会有，生活的过程中，总有不幸，也总有悲哀，就像日落花衰，有些事，你越是在乎，就会痛得越厉害，放开了，看淡了，慢慢就简单了。

16. The world is vast, and life is short. There is no need to attach too much importance to certain things. Pain and sorrow are universal experiences. Throughout life, there will always be misfortunes and sadness, just like the setting sun and withering flowers. Some things, the more you care about, the more they will hurt you. Let go, take it lightly, and it will gradually become simpler.

18. 人与人之间的关系也是如此，需要社交简单，而非相处复杂。一个人要确立自己的心理边界和行为准则，不要随意干涉别人的生活，也不让别人任意介入自己的生活。

18. The relationship between people is also like this, it requires simple social interactions rather than complex coexistence. One must establish their own psychological boundaries and behavioral standards, not arbitrarily interfere in others' lives, nor allow others to arbitrarily intrude on their own lives.

19. 大道至简。”人活到极致，一定是“极简生活”。所谓“极简生活”，并非是物质上的匮乏和精神上的贫瘠，而是通过一种删繁就简，取其精华的方式，过上一种经济环保、契合人性而又轻松愉悦的生活。

19. "The essence of the great path is simplicity." To live to the fullest, it must be "a minimalist lifestyle."

20. 素，是一种雅致的情怀，不张扬，不奢华，只是带着一股子的明媚与清新，如同芬芳的花儿暗自生香。

21. 生活中，很多时候我们都是庸人自扰，就像乘坐列车的旅客，还没开始出发，就已经担忧这个，担心那个，其实，一路只需要享受当下就好。窗外的风景正好，何必为了昨日的遗憾而闷闷不乐，又何必为明天的到来而惶恐不安呢。

21. In life, many times we are our own worst enemies, like passengers on a train who worry about this and that even before they start their journey. In fact, all we need to do is enjoy the present moment along the way. The scenery outside the window is beautiful; why be sad about yesterday's regrets, or anxious about tomorrow's arrival?

22. 人生是一杯茶，会苦一阵子，但是不会苦一辈子，所以，请不要为了那页已消逝的时光而惆怅，如果这就是成长，那就让我们安之若素。

22. Life is like a cup of tea, it will be bitter for a while, but it won't be bitter for a lifetime. Therefore, don't be melancholic for the past that has already passed, if this is growth, then let us accept it as it is.

23. 汪曾祺在《慢煮生活》中说：“我以为，最美的日子，当是晨起侍花，闲来煮茶，阳光下打盹，细雨中漫步，夜灯下读书，在这清浅时光里，一手烟火一手诗意，任窗外花开花落，云来云往，自是余味无尽，万般惬意。”

23. Wang Zengqi said in "The Art of Slow Living": "I believe that the most beautiful days are those spent in the morning tending to flowers, enjoying tea in leisure, dozing off in the sun, strolling in the light rain, reading under the night lamp. In this serene time, I hold both the warmth of daily life and the poetry of the soul. As flowers bloom and fall outside, clouds come and go, the aftertastes are endless, and all sorts of contentment abound."

24. 一个人的生活，不需要多么复杂，一日三餐，三两知己，过淳朴的生活，才能淡泊明志，宁静致远。

26. Rather than let go, it's more about letting be, with an unhurried demeanor, savoring the myriad splendor, carrying a trace of gentle breeze and faint clouds, and smilingly watching the passage of time.

27. 岁月不惊不扰，你我不慌不忙，在最深的红尘烟火里，度来日方长。不与身边的人攀比，不因为别人过的比自己好而羡慕嫉妒恨，不因为别人比自己过的差而羞辱嘲笑，简单安静的活着，知足常乐的过着，适当的忙着，做自己喜欢的事，见自己喜欢的人，看美好的风景，吃可口的美食，把人生的每一个日子，都雕刻成轻松惬意的时光。

27. The years pass without causing any alarm or disturbance, and we live without any hurry. In the deepest hustle and bustle of life, we spend our long days. We don't compare ourselves with those around us, nor do we envy or harbor resentment because someone else's life seems better than ours. We don't mock or humiliate others because their lives seem worse than ours. We live simply and quietly, finding joy in contentment, and we are busy appropriately, doing things we like, seeing people we love, appreciating beautiful scenery, enjoying delicious food, and carving every day of our lives into carefree and pleasant moments.

30. 人生不必想着惊天动地，不要跟命运较劲，安于平凡的生活，静静享受似水流年的时光，彻底的悠闲，无所事事，一事无成才好。

30. Life does not have to aim for something earth-shattering. Do not fight against fate. Be content with a平凡 life, quietly enjoying the passage of time like flowing water, complete leisure, being engaged in nothing, and being a failure at everything is the best.

31. A person's thoughts do not require excessive desires; by being calm and frugal, one can cultivate one's character. With a mind free from杂质, one's realm can become broad.

32. 人生苦苦活一场，从来都是生不带来，死不带去，又何必执念于得失幻灭，待一切落幕，世界自然平静，有些事无需强求，有些人不必强留，看清浮华，给人生留点空白，让生命回归素与简！

32. Life is a hard struggle, and it's always something that comes without bringing anything at birth and leaves without taking anything at death. Why be obsessed with the illusion of gains and losses? When everything comes to an end, the world naturally becomes peaceful. Some things do not require forced pursuit, and some people need not be forcefully retained. See through the vanity, leave some空白 in life, and let life return to simplicity and simplicity!

33. 其实，真正成熟的人，明白这世上大多数事情与自己无关。生活里，看似纷乱繁杂的信息，其实大多数于我们而言都是没有意义的，因此，明白自己真正需要的，放下与自己无关的，将全部的精力都倾注在自己想做的事上，日子将会更加愉快丰满。

33. In fact, a truly mature person understands that most things in this world have nothing to do with them. In life, the seemingly chaotic and complex information is, in fact, mostly meaningless to us. Therefore, understanding what we truly need, letting go of what is irrelevant, and pouring all our energy into what we want to do will make our days more joyful and fulfilling.

34. 何况，极简生活的本质并非要随意舍掉、抛弃什么，而是懂得合理规划、物尽其用、适时清理，才能让生活整洁有序，开阔明亮，充满阳光。

34. Moreover, the essence of minimalist living is not to randomly discard or throw away anything, but to understand reasonable planning, make full use of things, and clean up at the right time, so that life can be tidy and orderly, open and bright, and full of sunshine.

35. 哲学家罗素先生说：“不要因为睡懒觉，而感到自责。因为你起来，也创造不了什么价值。你能在浪费时间中获得乐趣，就不是浪费时间。”

35. Mr. Russell, the philosopher, said: "Do not feel guilty for sleeping in. Because even when you get up, you can't create any value. If you can find joy in wasting time, then it is not a waste of time."
