Less is More

Your children do not need more.

Each day adds more facts,

more gadgets, more activities, more desires, and more confusion to their lives.

Your task is to subtract.

Each day seek to remove, to clarify, to simplify.

Society’s wisdom adds, and confusion grows.

If each day one minute less was spent doing something. And one minute more was spend being present,

in simple pleasures with your children.

In two months you would transform your life and theirs.

One minute less.

“The Parents Tao Te Ching; A new Interpretation.” By William Martin
