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. 維系友情 –你了解那些因各種原因歡迎你進入他們生活的人嗎?請珍惜他們,花些時間和他們在一起。等你老的時候,開始回想過去的功過,這些人際關系能帶給你滿足感。很多人花了很多時間思考物質如何能改善自己的生活。一臺蘋果電腦就很好。事實上,一個好友抵得上世間的一切。
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. 追求簡單 – 你不需要一排排的鍍金鴨子來愛你現在過的生活。你不需要很多東西和各種人際關系這些東西來驅動你,這樣反而會讓你希望能清靜一下。你可能會想嘗試一下更加簡單的生活方式,享受生活是因為這樣做有益而不是因為這樣做很奢侈。 你可能會想和一個朋友隨便聊聊,不用擔心高昂的聚會花費。試著簡單,如果復雜靠近你,就順其自然。學會基本的愛生活,你會發現隨之而來的對美好事物的美妙感受。
