- A graduate from a prestigious university, "Prestigious", believes that getting enough sleep helped him study, but he does not think it is directly related to happiness.
- "Prestigious" has a stable company life, but he feels his happiness level is low, and he has seen many cases where people have succeeded through challenges rather than studying.
- Aria encourages her children to get enough sleep, but she realizes through "Prestigious"'s experience that studying alone does not lead to happiness.
Prestigious University
After lunch, in front of the elevator..
Aria: Did you enjoy your lunch?
Myungmundae: Yes, it was delicious. I took a day off yesterday and slept all day, so I feel great.
Aria: It’s good to get good sleep, right? It makes you feel good and work well.
Myungmundae: Yes, that’s right.
Aria: Did you do that when you were in school? I don’t see many students who study well and still sleep well.
I mean, most of them have to sacrifice their sleep to study.
Myungmundae: That’s right. I also sleep a lot, so I studied while getting enough sleep.
Aria: As expected.. I also emphasize getting enough sleep to my children.
If they manage their sleep well like you, would it help them get into a prestigious university?
Myungmundae: I’m not sure if going to a prestigious university makes you happy. I studied a bit and got a job at a company, but I don’t think I’m very happy.
I’m not brave enough to give up everything and try something new.
I mean, as long as I don't make a big mistake, I'm protected from the downside.
I’ve seen many people who didn't study and just had fun, tried different things, and ended up becoming successful.
Aria: Right, you don't see many people getting successful while working at a company.
In the end, unless you have a professional license (like a doctor), studying well doesn’t have a high correlation with happiness.
It might protect you more from the downside, but it doesn't necessarily lead to happiness.
As a parent who wants their children to be happy, I don't want to force them down a path that might not lead to happiness and end up ruining our relationship.
