Simplicity is beautiful

The world is a colorful kaleidoscope, and everyone can choose different lifestyles based on their specific strengths. Complexity is a kind of life, simplicity is also a kind of life. Being fashionable, sophisticated and luxurious is a way of living; being simple, simple and frugal is also a way of living. Regardless of the lifestyle of the former or the latter, there is nothing to criticize. Others do not need to make irresponsible remarks, let alone make unreasonable accusations. Life, as long as you feel relaxed and happy, is the right choice.

There is a famous saying: "Go your own way and let others tell you." In fact, everyone is following the established trajectory and completing their own journey. In this case, why don't we be simpler, throw away the heavy luggage, and hit the road easily. Traveling lightly will free up more time and energy to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, better nourish our dry eyes and ears, and delight our tired body and mind. Time is eternal and life is limited. Life is made up of minutes and seconds. So saving time means extending life, so why not be happy. It can be seen that simplicity is a kind of beauty, and simple life is a supreme realm of life.

Bill Gates, the software king with billions of assets, never spends money recklessly. Once, he and his colleagues went to a hotel for a meeting, but because they were late, there was no parking space. When a colleague suggested parking the car in the VIP area, he immediately objected: "It costs 12 US dollars, which is too expensive." Bill Gates is so rich, but he has chosen a frugal consumption concept. Without a simple and simple inner world and natural quality of life, could Bill Gates be so clear-headed and resist the temptation of materialistic desires? There are many great men and great artists. Their material world is very simple, and their lives can be as simple as possible. However, their spiritual world of constantly pursuing ideals, freedom, and truth is very rich. There are many more such examples, too numerous to mention.

Nowadays, people are racking their brains and trying every means to save their houses, cars, and money. I usually ride an old bicycle, and someone said to me: "What age is it, and I still ride a worn-out weighted bicycle. If you don't buy a car, you should at least buy a motorcycle or an electric bicycle."

< p> I say, there are benefits to cycling, but there are even more benefits to riding an old bike. The four major benefits of riding an old bicycle are summarized as follows: First, because it is old, thieves don’t like it, so it is extra safe and will not be lost; second, riding a bicycle does not cost money to sell fuel, it is economical and practical, and it is not like a car. That will cause traffic jams and waste everyone's time; thirdly, without using fuel, there will be no pollution to the atmosphere, and the benefits of environmental protection are particularly prominent; fourthly, cycling is a whole-body exercise, fitness, convenience, freedom, and energy Exercise, why not do it. In fact, the benefits of riding a bicycle go far beyond that. Because the full utilization of old cars can at least save a new car, which virtually saves raw materials, various energy sources, and transportation costs. This whole process of saving virtually protects the environment. Cycling is indeed a good thing that achieves multiple things with one stone, so I persist and enjoy it, which can be regarded as doing some good things for society.

In fact, car owners also have many worries. I finally got a car, but I was worried about not having a parking space to store it. I was afraid that children would scratch and damage the paint, I was afraid of losing it, and I was afraid that acquaintances would borrow it. Gasoline prices have increased, various expenses have increased, and I am worried that I will not be able to afford a car. It's convenient for a family to travel somewhere, but the total cost is more expensive than a sleeper ticket on a train, and about the same as a discounted airplane ticket. It's really the price of meat. And these sighs are all based on the experience of car owners. I really don’t understand, does spending money buy convenience or worry?

Since childhood, I have been deeply ingrained in the family education that "every porridge and meal should be remembered as hard-won; every trace of food should be remembered as material resources are difficult." We never waste any grain of hard-earned food, and we have passed on the good tradition of saving to the next generation. When it comes to clothes, I never follow fashion. Clothes that can continue to be worn are not easily eliminated, and even underwear can be worn out or worn out. Perhaps no one believes this. The enjoyment of material life can be dull or even poor, and you should not compare yourself with others. If you live a simple life, you will maintain a calm heart, be calm, and be happy. If you live a simple life, your heart will be more fulfilling, you will have more energy, and you hope to do more meaningful things.

Simple life, speaking from a small perspective, is just a matter of choosing details. And simple life, in a big way, involves the big topic of environmental protection, how many resources we can leave to future generations, and what kind of environment we can return to.

Who doesn’t want to make things as simple as possible? Who wants to do something and have each leader sign it, rubbing their hot face against a cold butt? If you go to a department or department at the grassroots level to get a seal, what if you look at people who look like dogs and have high eyebrows and low eyes? Who wouldn’t want to make a good friend with a simple and sincere person? Who wants to get close to complex and sinister conspirators and make friends with them?

Therefore, simplicity is beauty, and simple life is a supreme state of life.

Simplicity and nature are beautiful

On this day, the flower fairies were busy dressing themselves up at home. Because the annual "Flower Fairy Contest" will be held soon.

Rose looked left and right in the mirror, always feeling that she was not beautiful enough: "What is wrong with me? Are my petals not red enough?" Rose took a paintbrush and painted it over and over on her petals. : "She looks much better now." Rose looked at herself in the mirror, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Lily was also admiring herself at home, but she was not satisfied at all: "My petals are all white, which doesn't look good at all. How about I paint the petals in colors." Just do it. Afterwards, Lily took the color pen and painted not only her petals but also the leaves.

As for the chrysanthemum, she was still complaining at home: "The color of my petals is quite nice, but the shape of these petals is too ugly. I have to use scissors to trim it." Just do it, chrysanthemum Use scissors to trim your petals "click, click, click".

Jasmine cheered herself up in the mirror: "Believe in yourself, simplicity is beautiful!" Jasmine did not dress herself up in any way.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the day of the competition, and many flowers are gathered here. There are roses, lilies, rosettes, and chrysanthemums... These flowers are all showing off to each other how beautiful they are. At this moment, the host Miss Xiaocao spoke: "The Flower Fairy Competition has begun. The judge for this season is Peony, the King of Flowers from last season. Now let's ask the King of Peony and Flowers to take a look at everyone here to see who will be the winner of this season. Kao." Peony stood up and took a look, but she didn't seem satisfied. Suddenly, she walked straight towards Jasmine: "Jasmine, why don't you dress yourself up? You see there are many flowers here that dress themselves up beautifully, but you seem to be no different from usual?" Jasmine was very confident. Said: "I think simplicity and nature are beautiful!" "Pa, pa, pa" Peony took the lead in applauding and announced: "I think jasmine is the king of flowers this season." "Ah, why jasmine?" "I think I Much better than her." There was a lot of discussion below, and many people protested: "It's not fair, she didn't dress up at all, she doesn't pay attention to this game at all, Mudan, you have to explain the reason, you have to give everyone an explanation!" Mudan smiled! Said: "Just because of the saying 'simplicity and nature are beautiful'!" There was a round of applause from the audience!

"Simplicity and nature are beautiful" are such simple words, but who has thought about it like this? When I was walking on the street, I saw many aunties wearing beautiful clothes. I was very envious when I was a child, but now I understand that "simplicity and nature are beautiful", and you don't have to dress yourself up deliberately to be truly beautiful!

< p>Simple life is beautiful

Life is going on all the time. In everyone's life, there are often people who complain about the shortcomings of life and hope to be rich and prosperous for the rest of their lives. However, being rich is not necessarily a good thing. Perhaps, a simple life is also a good way to live. .

In Chongqing, there is a college student who graduated with a bachelor's degree. After graduation, he has been unable to find a job and has no financial resources. His life is very poor. Just at this time, his parents - an elderly couple Died in a car accident. It is also very painful for a black-haired person to send a white-haired person away. For this college student, his only spiritual support has left. He seems to have lost hope in life. He once wanted to commit suicide, but at this time, his An old classmate came to visit him, learned about his family's situation, and introduced him to a job.

In this way, he finally found a job as a salesman. But the good times didn't last long. He found the work very boring and the salary was too low - 900 yuan a month. Just like that, he quit his job. With the 4,500 yuan he earned in five months, he often went to bars and KTVs and lived a magical life for a few days. After the money ran out, he remembered the old classmate who introduced him to the job, so he contacted him and borrowed money from him every month. At first, it was one or two hundred yuan, but later he became more demanding and owed him two months. The debt is more than 20,000 yuan. During this period, he was also addicted to drugs and took drugs every day. It was not until he ran out of money that he realized that his fairy days were over. When he borrowed money from his classmates again, he was rejected. He came to borrow money again and again, and was pressed for debt again and again. Under the pressure of drugs, he committed an unforgivable mistake-committing suicide on a winter night. He killed his old classmate, his wife and children, and took away hundreds of thousands of dollars...

On the day of his arrest, he was still intoxicated with the intoxicating song of drugs...

In winter, a flower withered...

When everyone listens to this story, they will definitely feel indignant for the immoral behavior of the college student. He is a borrower who borrowed money." "Big money", but often rich people don't get a kind of beauty - happiness, why? This is the same as some people in modern society: Chen Liangyu, a good cadre praised by people for generations, but under the temptation of money and power, he went to the point of no return and betrayed the people. Wearing the hat of a good person all day long, but secretly enjoying temporary happiness. Those of you who are like Faust in Goethe's works, you gain momentary happiness, but you also lose your happiness and the true meaning of simple life.

Simple life often represents contentment, so wealth is not synonymous with beauty, but real beauty is simplicity!
