the Industrial Societies. I know myself. I know that I would never be able

continuous flow of knowledge. This might be the reason why I chose to be
a Chemist.

- This simple means that no one can live just by himself/herself. No one is
self-sufficient and everyone relies on others one way or another. We need
something from someone or even from each other to share for. Man need
each other for love, guidance, companionship support in order to live and
form a fulfilling and worthwhile life.
