There is a time for learning, and a time for play. The present state of mind is the only proper judgement to determine which should be indulged at any given moment. Excess in learning may deprive the mind of a sense of liberty and freedom, and thus create a person of academical staleness. Whilst an excess in play may cause a lazy and indifferent attitude towards learning. An equilibrium between the two is probably for the best. Forced knowledge after all doesn't stick to well in the mind.
