A TED speech with John Maeda
I liked this speech that Jimmy showed us in class today about John Maeda on simplicity. One thing that I liked about his speech was how he explained the law of Simplicity and complexity. I liked when he said, "Simplicity is about living life with more enjoyment and less pain." I liked the fact that the message was how we should look at the simple things in life and how we should enjoy the things we see in the world. This discussion inspires me to try to be less stressed and look at the world through more simple eyes. There are a lot of things that people don't see because they simply don't open their eyes.

ReplyDeleteyea man...the speech was inspiring for me too...made me think how simple life can be if you look at it differently. All the bullshit I have going on that keeps me hella busy (school, work, and other obligations) is just a part of the daily grind of which I try to convince myself that they are irrelevant to my general happiness; conversely, I try to put more emphasis in the more simple things in life that truly make me happy (family, friendships, etc.) Shit, it's not easy but in the end, in my opinion, you just have to have to ask yourself, "am I genuinely happy?"
