Less Is More:Theory (updated 1 time)

• Cooks use this theory to tell students that if it's good produce and meat you can't make it any better because any seasoning added would just block the natural flavor which sells itself.
• Business people use this theory to not let out the secrets of their success until they've already succeeded. Keeping your mouth shut has it's benefits.
• People tend to create too full of a plate for themselves. They have way more friends than they can keep up with. They have a pet that they always will have to consider before going on vacation. They get a job that takes up all of their time. They add so many extra luxuries and luxury items to their lives that have to be payed for that they have to get a better job or work more hours to pay for. Which is what will take up all of your time, and most of your life. Working for others at high interest into their pockets, and creating more work for yourself than the luxuries of life are worth. Look to "Utopia now" about how it's economy works, for a more in depth understanding of this theory.
  
• People rack up too much debt in America and will be in debt to others essentially forever. Which means they take out a loan on a house because they can't buy it outright which means paying one of their biggest monthly bills, every month, for 30 years. And because they now have no way of saving extra money from paying a costly mortgage every month, they will have to take money out of the house in a refinance, if they ever want any money to do a project. But the worst part about these loans is that in the first years of the mortgage it is paying 100% interest to the lender. Which means if you ever move to a different house within the first years of the mortgage, or you ever refinance, then all of that money payed toward the mortgage in the following year, is 100% interest on the loan, or 100% loss on your money and into the pocket of the person you pay your mortgage to. Quite frankly, it's a better financial decision to live at campsites.
  
• Simple technologies always have less maintenance than complex technologies.
• Everyone wants the simple life, with less problems, and less liabilities.

Henry David Thurough: As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness. Our life is frittered away by detail... Simplify, simplify, simplify. Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind. With respect to luxuries and comforts, the wisest have even lived a more simple and meager life than the poor.

Albert Einstein:Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.
