"The height of Civilisation always runs to simplicity." - Bruce Lee.
Every day decrease the amount of rubbish around you. Do not add to it. Eliminate noise, ornamentation, excess paper, fat etc from your self and your enviornment. Learn to listen. Learn to meditate - reduce the clutter of sounds and ideas rushing around in your mind. Cultivate an appreciation of the simple line drawing of Japanese Art that brings the mind to rest when you simply let your gaze fall gently on it.

270. Adding Wisdom
Being wise and becoming wiser are more to do with reducing than with adding. Wherever possible, eliminate ornamentation and grow ever simpler. Hack away the unnecessary and allow the truth to be revealed without obstruction. Learn to shed the layers. Learn to let go of overly complicated ideas and models.
