Jesus says,'If you have, more will be given to you. If you don't have, even that which you have will be taken away from you.' If you work hard you will get more energy. If you don't work hard, if you don't work at all and you avoid it, even the energy that you have will disappear. So whatsoever you want to do, do it, and do it to the optimum.

If you miss that time, then you miss the glow. Then you simply repent that you missed the time when you could have worked hard.

For example, if you do mathematics, then a certain part of the brain functions and the other parts rest. Then you read poetry: then that part that was functioning in mathematics rests and another part starts functioning.
That's why in universities and schools we change periods -- forty minutes, forty-five minutes -- because each centre of the brain has a capacity to function for
