Simplify life, and live an easy life

I learnt to cook when I was ten as my mother was busy working. As the eldest son, I

watched how my mother cooked for a few times and started to cook on my own. As you can

guess, the first meal tasted terrible. Though simple homey food can be improvised to taste

better but I tried to make some changes, added more ingredients and seasonings to make

the food taste better. It was alright at first, but soon, I found the flavours were a bit too

strong. Hence, I went back to where I started, which is cooking simple yet delicious food. As I eat, I found out that I love this kind of simple flavour. I just love the food that I cooked,

narcissistic isn’t it?

Life is better off simple, but many people overcomplicated it. People may live a simple life at

first, but as they goes on, they start to chase after many things. Their original intention

might be to improve their old life, but with lots of improvement comes with lots of burden,

which begin to make life difficult. In the end, it best to go back to the original point where all

begin! As the saying goes, “simple is beautiful”.

To live a simple life is not as easy as it seems, just like cooking a delicious yet healthy food.

Seems easy but not as you work on it.
