jsut say no

人們通常礙于拒絕別人的要求:

忍受與反抗，人們對后者的恐懼更大。 -- 龍紋身的女孩

成百上千的電視節目，數不清的quora話題，自由且無所不在又包容了人類所有知識的電腦網絡，要拒絕這些東西是困難的。

與從前不同，當今互聯網包容了整個世界的一切。我不認識你，但也發覺一切都在分散精力。-- Dave Gorman

要發現自我，找到簡單 -- 你需要對與你無關的事說不。除去一些少有的例外，把說不作為第一反應。

這需要勇氣，做起來也并非容易。但為了更加簡單且深刻的生活，值得去做。

It's hard to resist the lure of other people's requests:

"The fear of offending can be stronger than the fear of pain"
- Girl with a Dragon Tattoo

It's hard to resist the siren call of a thousand TV channels, a million Quora posts and a free, ubiquitous computer network overflowing with the sum of humanity's knowledge:

“The Internet contains everything in the whole wide world ever. I don’t know about you, but I find everything in the whole wide world ever to be a bit distracting.” – Dave Gorman

But to find yourself, to find simplicity - you need to say no to everything that doesn't matter. Practice saying no to everything by default, and making rare, precious exceptions.

It takes courage and isn't easy. But your life will be simpler and more profound.
