Studies

Hi

An author of a book about the power of concentration writes:

The person that cannot direct his thoughts, wishes, plans, resolutions and studies cannot possibly succeed to the fullest extent. The person that is impulsive one moment and calm the next has not the proper control over himself. He is not a master of his mind, nor of his thoughts, feelings and wishes. Such a person cannot be a success.

I'm not sure what the author means by "studies"? Maybe "knowledge", maybe "observations"? I understand that one can direct his "thoughts, wishes, plans and resolutions", but "studies" seems odd to me.
