Textbook knowledge has not much use in real life situations

Textbooks provide us with facts and figures. Facing real life struggles requires presence of mind and wisdom to apply the learned knowledge. For example, there are various books available on learning how to drive. But one cannot simply learn the book by heart and claims to be an efficient driver. One can learn the scientific theories from textbooks but cannot become a doctor. Similarly, to tackle problems in real life one should have experience and a sense of good judgement. Textbooks are a mere means where various data is collected and compiled for easy learning. They are never absolute and should not be taken literally. Just as experience cannot be created but should be felt, textbook knowledge cannot be used literally in real life. One needs imagination, curiosity and understanding brought together with the will to learn.
