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...

Chromosome - Lecture

Chromosome Structure What is a chromosome? ''A  chromosome  is a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism. Most eukaryotic  chromosomes  include packaging proteins which, aided by chaperone proteins, bind to and condense the DNA molecule to prevent it from becoming an unmanageable tangle'' Genes are organized into discrete cellular structures called chromosomes that coordinate DNA replication and distribution of replicated genetic copies between two daughter cells. As vehicles of genetic transmission, chromosomes play a central role in Darwinian evolution. Chromosome Size Free-living bacteria need genetic information to synthesize proteins for executing vital functions. Most bacteria have a single chromosome with DNA that is about 2Mbp (mega base pairs) long (1Mbp 5 1 000 000 base pairs), but the DNA content ofdifferent species varies from 0.58 to greater than 9 Mbp ofDNA, and s...
