A great noon to all,

I, R. Darshan, of grade 12 A , is here to deliver a noon message on the topic

“Simplicity in life’. Do you know why I have chosen this topic??

Today 12th July is observed as National Simplicity Day to honour the birthday of
Henry David Thoreau. He encourages us to step back and look at the ways to
simplify life in such a busy lifestyle. The day provides us an opportunity to
eliminate the unnecessary burdens that weigh us down. The day gives us a chance
to shun gadgets and experience true peace and enjoy the simplicity of life.

Simplicity is not a sacrifice. It doesn’t look the same for everyone. It will change
us. It will make us more open-minded. It is not a competition.

It is a great virtue which one can observe in life. We are rightly advised by the
wise elders to believe in simple living and high thinking. We should observe
simplicity in our food habits. We should take simple but nourishing food.
We should also observe simplicity in our clothes. We should not wear very tight
clothes which make the movement of our limbs difficult.

We should observe simplicity in our speech and manners. We should be sweet,

polite and humble in our talk. We should not boast, nor should we try to bully
others. We should never lose our temper under any circumstances. We should be
honest and straightforward in our dealings.

I wish a simple and nourishing meal to one and all who understood the value of
simplicity in life. Thank you and have a simple and humble day.
