Knowledge does not go waste! Really???

They say that knowledge does not go waste. So read everything which comes to your way. Study whatever you can, and you will be fine. You will earn knowledge in the end.

But I do not believe in this. Life is finite and there is lot of knowledge in the world and it is increasing continually. If we will not plan and study important things, time will pass on and we would not have earned necessary knowledge, even after having the capacity to learn it.

So in this era of internet, and knowledge explosion, do not start reading every book which comes to your way or because simply available. Spend time selecting the book and then read it. Spend time choosing the appropriate course / education. Think what you will be doing after doing the course and then go ahead if the picture it creates matches with the one in your head. Or at least you are aware about the future at that time.

I do not mean to say that there should be no spontaneity and we should keep on doing all the things with proper planning all the time. But planning helps sometimes. That is all.

And most important, don't gain knowledge for the sake of gaining it. Because there are many who are trying to sell their books. Books are for us to read and gain knowlege. Not the other way round.
