Math 117: Elementary Statistics
Food for Thought
“Simplifying our lives in even little ways can
make a big difference. If you fill up all your time, you won’t have any. And
you probably won’t even be aware of why you don’t. Simplifying may mean prioritizing
the things that you have to and want do to and, at the same time, consciously
choosing to give certain things up. It may mean learning to say no
sometimes, even to things you want to do or to people you care about and want
to help so that you are protecting and preserving some space for silence, for
non-doing.”
