in one of the books, Ernest Wood, had made an interesting statement. We 
tend to study and at some stage one becomes stagnant as we see no better 
understanding or "progress". According to him, the reason is that whatever 
that we have studied unless put into practice does not help up propel 
forward to the next stage of understanding or growth or progress. it looks 
like unless you integrate study with practical application, may lead to no 
where except head learning.
