25"Anyone can make things bigger and more complex. What requires real effort and courage is to move in the opposite direction—in other words, to make things as simple as possible."complicate…simplify…
复杂事情简单化才是最需要努力和勇气的。
[begin]
During the development of human being’s civilization, technology change from hammer, arrow, sling, compass to operating machine, deadly weapon, advanced appliances. Meanwhile, thoughts of humans are being promoted from believing spiritual authories blindly, sticking to hierarchy strictly, prohibiting scientific achievements to killing racial discrimination, exploring outspace, and advacating liberation, peace and demoncracy. Undoubtedly, complicating things is a process of development. However, simplification is more meaningful, as the statement says.
1、
把简单事物复杂化有其好处。
Admittedly, making things complex is for obtaining more useful information, clarfiying the truth behind the surface and then benefiting to the public. If Newton did not consider further through the ordinary phenomenon--fall of an apple, gravity could not been discovered so early. If Feud gave up imagining the relationship between dreams and sexual psychology, whether this field of academic would be enlarged is totally uncertain. If Sherlock Holmes did not catch any simple clue on the scene, his talent in investigation could never be worshiped by following generations. It is because of their ability to exaggerate details that pushs them to be someones in the history. Moreover, nowadays, brainstorm is one kind of educational method for enriching students’ range of knowledge, which is a viivd application of complicating.

However, comparing to complication, simplification can bring about convenience and luxious. In the world, there are countless magices contained in nature and creatures, which cannot be illustrated in detail, need not to be commanded by each man either. Observing the surroudings where people live, various cellphones ring, flooding cars horn, new buildings are being constructed, fast food are on the way, large numbers of electronic community media have been part of life. People need not to know why cellphone could link strangers in faraway place, how a car run as long as filling with petrol, how many bricks required in the construction, and what is the machanism of the market. None of these are essential for a person’s ordinary life. Just enjoy the benefit from science. Moreover, simplication is more effective in conveying messages. For example, economists are accustomed to turning a complex phenomenon to a story, an equation, a curve, or a chart. Adam Smith, the father of economics, has made a metaphor that the whole market was like a needle factory, where each staff was doing one permanent job everyday, but all staffs were controlling different process when producing the needle. Through the metapher, he mainly emphasized the importance of indivision of work, making the theory understandable to the public.

Finally, the most complex on the earth is the relationship between people, and only simplifying them can the life be less unbearable.
In an office, it is common that the manager supervises his employees furiously, employees compete for promotion severely, in which the harmony will be more shaky along with someone complicating a smile to a sarcasm, a conversation opener to trash talk, and a friend ro a rival. That is a miserable. If people can livewith no competition, no unloyalty, no violence, only peace, beauty, and simple delight, the life could be meaningful eventually.
To sum up, I prefer simplication on the earth rather than complicating all things even though comlicating is for enlarging the rage of knowledge, increasing the depth of understanding, and fulfilling the need of actualization. But for a modern person, it cannot be ignored that simplication result in the convenience and luxious, and if the relationship could be simplified, life is more like a present.
