A strong foundation of knowledge is impossible without reading the textbooks well. These living sources of knowledge (h) are written by the highly qualified educationists.

They, of course, (h) do well in the examination. But for this, they can (i) claim no credit of their own. This result does not (j) help them in their later life.
