people are interested in technological things and high tech jobs and think they can find them only in a big city. If they want to find a job, especially a good position in a company, they feel they have to live in a city. To enjoy these jobs, they are willing to put up with many of the disadvantages of city life such as crime, pollution, and high traffic.

However, it is now possible to enjoy a higher quality of life in the countryside and still enjoy some of the advantages of living in the city. Nowadays, travel is fast and information is available on the Internet, so many people are able to do their work in home offices. Because they have e-mail and personal computers, they don't have to be in big cities to do their business. It is not important where they actually work because the results of their work can be sent everywhere.

So, why should they put up with all the disadvantages of the city any longer? Now we can escape noisy city life to enjoy life in the countryside, and still be able to do good business and have successful careers. Especially, we can breathe fresh air, drink cool water, watch blue sky and white clouds, see greener grass and trees, and communicate with warmer neighbors in the countryside. It's also convenient in the countryside because roads are built or being built everywhere.

　　Some look for a successful life as wealthy people. Others search for a wonderful life as famous people. But most live a simple life all their lives as simple people. Everyone has a different attitude towards life. We may have the choice of three basic attitudes towards life.

　　First choice: You may look at life as if it were a business. A number of successful men and women believe that life is a business. If you believe so, your first question of life is "What do I get out of it?" and "How much is this worth to me?" Happiness becomes a matter of successful competition.

　　Second choice: You may want to be in the way of the artist. The basic philosophy (哲学) is "What can I put into it?" You value co-operation and contribution. This point of view has been proved by history. Because history always remembers best those who have made great contributions to the society.

　　Third choice: You may treat life with the philosophy of the vegetable. You're a simple person. Your life will include being born, growing, eating, drinking, sleeping, marrying, raising kids, getting old, dying and going to Heaven. That's your life, simple, happy, and peaceful.

　　I have spent a simple life for half of my life, not free or busy, not poor or rich, not sad or not happy, not ill or not healthy. I love and enjoy my life.
