Renouncing things is less difficult than people believe: it's all a matter of getting started. Once you've succeeded in dispensing with something you thought essential, you realize you can also do without something else, then without many other things.
放弃一切东西比人们想像的要容易些，困难在于开始。一旦你放弃了某种你原以为是根本的东西，你就会发现你还可以放弃其他东西，以后又有许多其他东西可以放弃。
