Simple Living: Minimalism (極簡生活)
Simplexity
- Complex is easy. Simple is hard.
- Simplicity is not simple. Simple is not easy.
- It’s easy to complicate things. It’s hard to simplify things. Simplicity requires ruthlessness.
- It takes much longer to simplify than it does to complicate. Simplicity really is the ultimate form of sophistication.
Things get more complex before they get simple.
Nuance
- Easy vs. Hard → Subjective
- Simple vs. Complex → Objective

The Kiss Principle
- = Keep It Simple, Stupid
The simplest solution is…

- always the most elusive.
