4. Nurture friendships – You know the people who for some reason or other welcome you into their lives? Treasure them. Make time to spend with them. It is those relationships that you’ll look back on with satisfaction when you get old and begin to wonder what your life was worth. Many of us spend far too much time thinking about how some material possession will improve our lives. An iMac would be nice. A good friend is worth just about everything though!
4. 维系友情 –你了解那些因各种原因欢迎你进入他们生活的人吗?请珍惜他们,花些时间和他们在一起。等你老的时候,开始回想过去的功过,这些人际关系能带给你满足感。很多人花了很多时间思考物质如何能改善自己的生活。一台苹果电脑就很好。事实上,一个好友抵得上世间的一切。
5. Embrace simplicity – You don’t need to have all your gold-plated ducks in a row in order to love the life you’re living. You don’t need lots of stuff and relationships so driven by drama that you often wish just to be left alone in silence. Instead you might try for a simpler approach and enjoy things because they are useful and not because they are expensive. You might join a friend just to talk and not worry about all the expensive trappings we so often heap on get-together’s. Try for simplicity and if complexity sneaks up on you, so be it. In learning to love the basics you’ll find a wondrous appreciation for the nicer things that come along.
5. 追求简单 – 你不需要一排排的镀金鸭子来爱你现在过的生活。你不需要很多东西和各种人际关系这些东西来驱动你,这样反而会让你希望能清静一下。你可能会想尝试一下更加简单的生活方式,享受生活是因为这样做有益而不是因为这样做很奢侈。 你可能会想和一个朋友随便聊聊,不用担心高昂的聚会花费。试着简单,如果复杂靠近你,就顺其自然。学会基本的爱生活,你会发现随之而来的对美好事物的美妙感受。
