keeping books is the answer

Answer 2

It is useless to hope to make life meaningful merely by collecting books.

• In the given passage, the importance of practical approach to the life is described.
• We often conclude that a person who collects book, is an intellectual and wise person.
• But, in reality the knowledge we gain from only reading the books is much more limited than experiencing a particular topic in a practical method.
• For this, a nice example is also given in the passage, that we cannot learn swimming by reading the books about swimming, we have to practically learn it in the water.
• That's why, collecting books or being limited to the printed information gathering is not the key to become successful and wise.
