Purpose of life is not happiness: It's Usefulness



I begin with my favourite post.
Darius Foroux writes about the battle most of us face between being happy and feeling fulfilled, in life.
We love doing things that make us happy. From going on holiday to buying a new car, we keep chasing that next nugget of happiness.
If you change it up and look at happiness as being a byproduct of your actions, choices and decisions that involve working towards a larger purpose, you’ll begin to notice how wonderful life really can be. True happiness is derived from moments of interaction and connection.
I’m happiest when doing something useful for somebody else, whether it be a friend, family member, colleague or even a stranger. When I’ve done something valuable for them, they’re happy which makes me happy!
Find something useful to do for someone. Do it. Let me know how you feel afterwards.

classification of G.C. Ainsworth (1973)

Introduction to Fungi The  fungi  (singular,  fungus ) include several thousand species of eukaryotic, spore bearing organisms that obtain simple organic compounds by absorption. The organisms have no chlorophyll and reproduce by both sexual and asexual means. The fungi are usually filamentous, and their cell walls have  chitin.  The study of fungi is called  mycology , and fungal diseases are called  mycoses.  Two major groups of organisms make up the fungi. The filamentous fungi are called molds, while the unicellular fungi are called yeasts. The fungi are classified in the kingdom Fungi in the Whittaker five-kingdom system of classification. Agriraghv KEY CONCEPTS 1. Kingdom Fungi (the true fungi) is a monophyletic group of eukaryotic heterotrophs that reproduce with spores and have chitinous cell walls. The most familiar fungi are kitchen molds and mushrooms. The kingdom may include 1.5 million species, of which about 80,0...

Communication skills||

COMMUNICATION Communication     ·          INTRODUCTION                   By- Agriraghv The word communication has been derived from Latin ward “ communis ” which means common. Thus communication means sharing of ideas is common. It can be defined as exchange of facts, ideas, opinions or emotions between two or more persons to create a common ground of understanding. ·        Definition - Communication is the process of passing information & message from one person to another. It involves at least two persons i.e. a sender & a receiver. OBJECTIVES -   To know the communication process to be followed in any organization How informal communication is more important than the formal communication. Type of Communication  Ø   Formal Communication Ø   Downward Communication Ø   Upward Commun...

Water Absorption

Absorption of water Agriraghv Water in the atmosphere😊 The electromagnetic interactions with ice, snow, and clouds are determined by the refractive index and absorption coefficient of pure ice plus the reflectance, absorbance and transmittance effects of grain size (for snow), bubbles (for glacier and lake ices), brine inclusions (for sea ice) and impurities (for clouds) [ 3580 ]. Clouds contain smaller ice crystals than snow plus dust and soot. The spectrum of ice resembles (but is not identical to) that of water (see  below ) except in the far-infrared, microwave and radio-wave regions (particularly <~20 cm -1 ). The grain size of snow determines its reflectance with larger crystals showing poorer reflectance (poorer aldebo) and greater absorbance. Ice is blue (like liquid water, see  below ) but snow is white. Snow and ice are transparent to radio waves with radar able to determine ice-sheet thickness. Ordinary ice is birefringent . Active absorption ...
