Simplicity
Today I’d like to talk to you about simplicity. How many of you in this room
think about this matter? Let me see a show of hands. Think about your life. Is
there clutter? What are you doing to create long-term happiness? Ask yourself
about the things you value. Prioritize them. Let go of unnecessary things and
people. Am I asking you to stop having fun? No. but if we voluntarily simplify

later?
