According to late Bertrand Russel, "Mere(intellectual) knowledge has no motivation of its own; the source of it is in the field of emotions and sentiments in man. Something must stimulate knowledge other wise it will remain static and unable to influence human actions".
We consider a man educated only if he has passed some examination or can deliver good lectures. An education which does not help the common people to equip themselves for the struggle of life, which does not bring out the strength of character, a spirit of philantropy and a courage of lion-is it of any worth? Real education is that which enables one to stand on one's own feet. The education that we are presently getting is only making us a race of book worms who work like machines and live a jelly-fish life.
