How to live more simply? How much is enough? Our lives are 　　1　 things and full of activities. In fact, we can make our lives 　　2　 . The easy answer is to cut down on things and　　 3　 . But the real key is in thinking 　　4　 . When we decide 　　5　 is enough, we can make sure which is needed and which is wanted.

　 Ads often make us 　　6　 not pleased with what we have already owned. They try their best to convince us that we should be interested in the 　　7　 products. But now I want to say that it’s time for us to end up wasting a lot of time and money on 　　8　 we don’t really need.

　 Is the bathroom filled with all sorts of soaps, lotions and hair products? We may only need just one or 　　9　 . As for hi-tech products, some are 　　10　 　tools. But we spend a lot of time learning 　　11　 　them. Then, when a newer model comes along, we will try to buy it again.

　 Well, we need new ways of thinking. First, it’s important to tell the difference 　　12　 needs and wants. When we shop, we should ask 　13　 : “Do I need this?” If the honest answer is no, ask: “Why do I want this? Is it 　　14　 everyone else has one?” That’s sometimes a very　　 15　 question!
