双语智慧书·求知应多，生活应简
247．求知应多，生活应简
求知应多，生活应简。有些人持相反观点。安逸比劳碌好。除了时间，没有任何东西真正属于我们。即便你没有其他东西，你还有时间。浪费宝贵的生命去完成机械呆板的任务或大量太重要的工作，是一样的不幸。不要堆积职务，那样会堆积别人对你的嫉妒，你的生活将会十分忙乱，以至筋疲力尽。有的人想把这个原理用在求知方面，但是应该明白，除非有所知，否则就没有真正的生活。
247．Know a little more, live a little less
Know a little more, live a little less. Some say the opposite. To be at ease is better than to be at business. Nothing really belongs to us but time, which you have even if you have nothing else. It is equally unfortunate to waste your precious life in mechanical tasks or in a profusion of too important work. Do not heap up occupation and thereby envy, otherwise you complicate life and exhaust your mind. Some wish to apply the same principle to knowledge, but unless one knows one does not truly live.
