Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. We are all familiar with this quote but there may be some truth in it yet.
Read this excellent article on the subject at http://www.behealthyspringfield.com/blogs/columns/is-sleep-the-key-to-being-healthy-wealthy-and-wise.
Although, the science of sleep strongly opposes reading in bed, I have to tell you, I need to read something to switch off my thinking and help me get off to sleep. I usually spend 20 minutes or so reading some pearls of wisdom, and this puts me to sleep like a baby with a big smile.
I would like to share with you one of my readings…I hope you will consider sharing some of your favourites as well.
The book I am currently reading is called Virtue and Happiness, The Manual of Epictetus. Previous to reading this, I did not know who this Greek gentlemen was… but… Oh la la… he is amazing! I will leave you with one of his beautiful writings:
Signs of someone who is progressing:
He blames no one,
He praises no one,
He complains of no one,
He accuses no one,
He never speaks of himself as of someone important or who knows something.
