</h3><ol>
<li>
<p>Read: Reading is about watching or interpreting something/someone to gain knowledge.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Study: Studying is about interpreting a topic, going deeper and gaining some conscious understanding out of it.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Research: Research is about studying a topic and then contributing to it with changes from your end.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Reading relates with knowledge.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Studying relates with understanding.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Research relates with understanding and contributing.</p>

Knowledge vs Entertainment:<span class="heading__anchor"> <a href="#knowledge-vs-entertainment">#</a></span>
</h3><ul>
<li>Activities that are done for Knowledge/Understanding (reading, watching, listening, studying etc.) can also be done for Entertainment and vice versa.</li>
</ul>
<p>Example:</p>
<ol>
<li>The first book was to provide Knowledge/Understanding, but later books became a source of Entertainment (fiction).</li>
<li>Videos can be used for both Knowledge/Understanding and Entertainment purposes. For example, for Knowledge/Understanding, there are documentaries, tutorial videos etc. For Entertainment, there are movies, funny videos etc.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>All these are taken from my notes, all of which I like to write and think about deeply.</li>
