Most of times we invent new things to make our life easier.
大多数情况下，我们发明新东西是为了让生活更轻松。

For example all the shopping APPs and news APPs that we use today.
比如，我们今天用的那些购物APP和资讯APP。

But usually those inventions develop into traps.
但是，这些发明却通常变成了陷阱。

We get addicted to them and spend more and more time in them.
我们变得沉迷其中，然后将越来越多的时间花在里面。

We thought they were going to make us happier.
我们本以为它们会让我们更加幸福。

But they didn't.
但它们没有。

They brought more anxiety into our life. Much more.
它们给我们的生活带来了更多的焦虑，相当多。

Some people grow tired of development because of this and propose that we abandon all technologies.
有些人因此变得厌恶发展，并提议我们摒弃所有的现代技术。

However, this is not development's fault.
但是，这其实并不是科技的错啊。

What's wrong is our human nature.
出错的是我们作为人类的天性。

We tend to lose control of ourselves and our time.
我们天生就容易对自己以及自己的时间失去控制。

And that brings chaos into our days.
而这就给我们的每一天带来了混乱

So if you want to live a happy life, the answer you're looking for is not in some far away land.
所以，如果你希望过得幸福，问题的答案并不在远处。

It's right here within you.
它就在这，在你自身。

Learn to manage your time. Try to make schedules. It may be hard in the beginning but you'll definitely find it worth your effort in the end.
学着管理你的时间。尝试去订计划。这一开始可能很难，但最终，你会发现它值得你去努力。

Your life is yours and your happiness is yours to find.
你的生活是你的，而你的幸福需要你自己去寻找。

Take the control back.
去把控制权夺回来吧。
