Sleep or Study, Choice is Yours

One evening my brother was sitting on a bed and he had a book opened in front of him. He was glancing at the textbook. I and my dad was also sitting on the bed. I was studying there as well.

Suddenly my dad saw my brother was taking a nap putting the book in front. With a pleasant voice, my dad called my brother’s name. He immediately woke up hearing the sound of my dad.

My dad didn't scold him rather asked him to come closer to him.

He told us something that I still don't forget and this helped me a lot to achieve my goal.

He told us,

There is a fight that always occurs between goddess Saraswati (god of knowledge) and goddess Lakshmi(God of wealth and here she acts as the goddess of sleep as well). According to Goddess Saraswati, if a person takes nap while studying Goddess Saraswati (knowledge ) will never to come him, but if the person anyhow controls his sleep and keep on studying and chooses study over nap or sleep, then she (knowledge) will be always there with him accompanied by goodness Lakshmi.

You might have also experienced such a scenario where you try to study and somehow you start taking naps. It is because goddess Lakshmi sits on your eyelashes and makes u sleep so that she can win against Goddess Saraswati.

So when you wash your eyes off 2–3 times you automatically start feeling fresh and study with full focus.

All successful people give up their sleep to get what they have today. They had many sleepless nights.

While Sleeping on time is prominent for sound health and mind but it should not come in between your goals. One has to maintain a balance between study and sleep and sometimes to achieve your aims you need to give up your sleep.

This article is just a story. Just like a story always ends up with a moral this story also have one.
