One must not study philosophy in order to become a philosopher. That way philosophy becomes too academic and separate from life. Philosophy means "love of wisdom", not "love of theory". Theory only becomes wisdom when it passes the test of life.
Philosophy is the best weapon for fighting against the sufferings of life. One thing to keep in mind is that philosophy does not solve problems, but rather, offers suggestions as how to deal with them.
