Less is more
Ladies and gentlemen,
It is my great honor to deliver a speech to all of you here. Today, I am going to talk about the topic--less is more.
During the time when I was a high school student, one of my classmates told me a lame joke. She said:” Hi! Wang wei, do you know what will happen when a wolf meets a sheep on the road?”
Well, I really got confused and began to search for all the possibilities, such as the wolf and the sheep became good friends and they had a big dinner together or romantically, they fell in love with each other and lived a happy life forever and all that. Before I could give my answer, she had blurted out: “the wolf eats the sheep!”
What? That’s it? How simple it is! I was shocked and at the same time I was enlightened. Maybe I took so many factors into consideration; the best answer sometimes is the simplest
one.
There is no need to make it too complicated, if you decorate one thing too excessively, you will miss the true meaning of it and ultimately loss it.
Here is a story about this. Once upon a time, there was a king who had an excessive passion for the bow. One day, he got a famous bow and he was so excited that he ordered his carpenter to carve many elegant pictures on the bow. In that case, it looked more like a handicraft than a bow. The king was extremely proud of it. Nevertheless, when the bow fell by accident, it was broken suddenly.
less is more大道至简
What a pity! The poor king lost his favorite for he had carved the bow too much.
Well, from the story above we may safely come to the conclusion that things come easily at first, there is no need to bedeck it and make it too complex. What we can do, as I see it, is to handle them properly, through their less decorated appearance, to seek out the most substantial things .Thus, we can make full use of them and beautify our daily life.
That’s all! Thank you!
