In most museums, theres no shouting and no running, and you mustnt touch anything. But the Science Museum is _ . its noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to all your questions about science, it is the right place for you.On the ground floor is the Launchpad.

It is easy to get stuck，both spiritually and physically by having too much. This is why minimalism and living simply should be your resolution for 2018.Economic development results in a lot of consumerism(消费 ):get a good job,get a nice car, and settle into a beautiful house. But some people say that our lives could use a little lightening these days:We work and work and work to only buy and buy and buybut does all that material wealth really lead to our happiness?Are we filling our time with unnecessary things，when we should be filling our time with friends，value，and service?An article from the website，Becoming Minimalist， points out the problem with this cycle(循环 ) in the best way，“ Nobody really believes happiness is directly tied to the number of things we own. Yet almost all of us live like it. We get stuck in it. We work more hours than ever before， earn more income， but save less.”Minimalism isnt all about ridding(摆脱 )consumerism and products from your life. Minimalism is about finding your own sense of self and focusing on the things you love. It is about creating a lifestyle that is focused on only those people and things that enrich you.These days，minimalistic living can come in many forms. We think the most practical form of minimalistic living for us is to follow our list:How You Can Live Lighter in 2018.Purge Your Closet:Take a day and clear out all of your drawers and closets. If something doesnt have special meaning or adds no value to your lifegive it away. Have only what you need and what you can see.Test Those Limits:See how long you can go without shopping. Give yourself a limit，whether it be two weeks or six months，whether it be avoiding a certain mall or buying clothes. Then put your selfwill to the test. After your allowed time，chances are you will realize all those extra blouses werent worth it and you will set yourself up for future spending control.Cut the Cord:This sometimes means giving up your modern technology:TV,cell phone,computer,etc. Limit yourself to only a few hours of TV per week，or only 30 minutes of social media per day. Youll make more time for the things and people that you love and clear out some unnecessary noise from your life.Live to Your Goals:Find out what your life goals and values are. Then，see what may help you or stop you from achieving this goal. Cut out that which doesnt lead to your happiness and success and add more of what does.Remember，a pared down lifestyle doesnt mean less success or less happiness. It represents your freedom to focus on the things in life that really matter.27 .
