There are 2 types of education. One is formal,given by educational institutions and the other is informal which we get as we go along in life. You can call it practical education or OJT, meaning On the Job training. So,learn,remember and apply all that you learn. Sage Truvalluvar says in Tirukkural. "Learn well and after that apply it well", Use it in life.
