href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/study-materials\/english\/essay\/essay-on-simple-living-high-thinking\/\">Simple Living High<\/a> Thinking implies that we must lead a simple life but at the same time our thinking must not be limited. This is to say that we must not restrict our thinking only to the nitty-gritty\u2019s of everyday day tasks. We should think big to bring about positive changes in our lives as well as that of those around us.<\/p>\n<p>The proverb lays emphasis on the importance of living a simple life devoid of any kind of show off. We must keep a check on our wants and desires. However, when it comes to thinking, it must be big. We must not think only about ourselves but also about those around.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Long_and_Short_Essay_on_Simple_Living_High_Thinking_in_English\"><\/span>Long and Short Essay on Simple Living High Thinking in English<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are essays of varying lengths on Simple Living High Thinking to help you with the topic in your exam. You can select any Simple Living High Thinking essay according to your choice:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simple_Living_High_Thinking_Essay_1_200_words\"><\/span>Simple Living High Thinking Essay 1 (200 words)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Simple living and high thinking go hand in hand. Only those who believe in living a simple life can think high and do great deeds in life. Those who prefer living lavishly only think about fulfilling their own desires one after the other and there is no end to it. Such people are so engrossed in gratifying their desires and impressing others by showing off their materialistic possessions that their thinking becomes limited to it. They cannot think high or develop a broad mindset.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, people who understand that they must only focus on their needs and not go after every materialistic thing their heart longs for lead a simple life. They only buy things of need and focus on becoming better human beings by way of their deeds and not by showing off their belongings. They try to help those around them, involve themselves in charity work, indulge in activities to improve the environment and more importantly spend quality time with their loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this does not mean it is wrong to be ambitious and earn money to lead a comfortable life. There is a difference between living comfortably and having a lavish lifestyle. There are many rich people around the world who lead a simple life and possess high thinking. They indulge in charity rather than spending lavishly on themselves.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simple_Living_High_Thinking_Essay_2_300_words\"><\/span>Simple Living High Thinking Essay 2 (300 words)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction\"><\/span><strong>Introduction<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This proverb advises human beings to limit their wants and desires as there is no end to them. If we run in pursuit of every desire of ours we shall never be satisfied as these keep growing on and on.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Live_Simple_-_Stop_Impressing_Others\"><\/span><strong>Live Simple \u2013 Stop Impressing Others<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We all agree that most of the things we want are not really for ourselves. We want them to impress our neighbours, friends and relatives. This kind of life can never be fulfilling or pleasurable. This is because we are not born to please or impress others and we can never even do so. Whatever we do people only look for opportunities to find flaws in us and this leaves us all the more dissatisfied. We try to earn more and more, reach at a high position in the company, increase our social circle and shop for expensive clothes and household items \u2013 what for? All this is done to establish a good social standing.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this is not to say that there is something wrong with being ambitious and making a good living. All this might as well bring us satisfaction at some level but it also takes away a lot from us. However, in the quest of making it big professionally and earning more and more to quench the undying desires people spend a lot of time at work and neglect their parents, spouse and kids. This distances them from the family and disturbs their personal relationships and all this only leads to stress.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If we lower our materialistic wants and stick to our needs, we shall be able to create a balance between our personal and professional life. This way we shall be able to spend more time with our family where the true joy lies. We shall also have enough time for ourselves, to look within and find out our true purpose of life.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simple_Living_High_Thinking_Essay_3_400_words\"><\/span>Simple Living High Thinking Essay 3 (400 words)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction-2\"><\/span><strong>Introduction<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many learned people in the past have followed the preaching from this proverb and have made a mark in the history. Some such people include Sant Kabirdas, Mahatma Gandhi, Pope Francis and Abraham Lincoln. All these people have led an extremely simple life and inspired several people around them to do so.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_must_one_lead_a_Simple_Life\"><\/span><strong>Why must one lead a Simple Life?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Very few people lead a simple life today others are busy running after their desires and trying to impress others by their latest possessions.

When you do not have numerous loans running for different things, you feel more confident. You no longer need to immerse yourself in work to earn more and more to pay off your loans and bills. You have a greater sense of control over your life.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lower_Stress_Level\"><\/span>Lower Stress Level<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You are no longer under constant pressure to earn more than your siblings, friends and neighbours.

It is time we must recognize that we should live for ourselves and not for impressing others. We must understand that happiness can only be found within and not in the outside things. Inner peace and happiness can only be found if we lead a simple life and have a high thinking that inspires us to do good for others.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simple_Living_High_Thinking_Essay_4_500_words\"><\/span>Simple Living High Thinking Essay 4 (500 words)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction-3\"><\/span><strong>Introduction<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Simple living and high thinking must be the motto of life of each one of us.

Popularly known as Bapu, this great man led an extremely simple life. He was highly educated and could have easily got a high paying job. He could have lived in a lavish bungalow and driven expensive cars. However, he chose to live in a hut. He wore the simplest of attires, a dhoti and ate simple food.

Leading a simple life and thinking high is a concept that you can rarely see in anyone anymore. People are extremely busy showcasing how happy, wealthy and full of life they are. While earlier they used to throw parties, invite people over and buy new things to impress those around with the advent of social media the quest to impress others has reached a whole new level. People visit exotic locations, go out for lavish dinners, party with friends, buy new stuff and all this uploaded on the social media within no time. Rather than enjoying the moment, people have now become more interested in showing others as to how cool their life is. And the definition of cool is far from simple.<\/p>\n<p>Those who indulge in such activities regularly are known to have a happening life and everyone wants to befriend them and go out with them. On the other hand, those who do not stay active considered rather dull and boring. No one likes being around such people. So showing off and talking highly of oneself has actually become the need of the hour. No one wants to live a simple life. Simple actually considered as boring. Thinking high beyond question as people so engrossed in impressing others that they don\u2019t understand that real happiness lies in finding our real selves and helping those around find the same.<\/p>\n<p>Someone who tries to defy these new formed norms of the society considered anti-social or just plain dull and boring. Those who do not keep abreast with this new lifestyle are often left alone. Even if someone cannot afford lavish dinners and doesn\u2019t have a cool gang of friends and leads a simple life, he also tries to impress people by uploading fake pictures and posts on the social media.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion-4\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Simple living high thinking is the mantra to lead a happy life.
