Learning Biology with a Passion

Why learn Biology?

Everyone has to read a manual someday.. whether its a new electrical appliance or your new handphone, everything's accompanied by a little booklet which desires to be read..

Biology is that little booklet to life..

What better manual would you read than the one that tells you how your body operates? The passion for learning Biology comes from realising the need to know how your amazing body is designed.

Studying Biology is often seen as memorising parts and pieces of the body... but do we really need to know all that? I personally feel it is more important to know the function of the body parts- simply because when one can understand the function, one can understand why the part is named so.

Ultimately, the career prospects that Biology offers is often misunderstood as being a Doctor a Brain surgeon or a lab person. But in reality, many biologist don't find place in these careers. They settle in other professions because their study of biology helped them realise their interest for their profession.

When you know your physical self well enough, a greater desire to understand the mental and ultimately spiritual self will arise. This is the reason why the debate over evolution's credibility is always heated, and will be explored in issues to come.

Simply put, the study of biology is practical because, if one studys and not Mugs (studying without thinking), one will defintely have to think and consider the meaning of life. And it often calls for every biologist to take a stand: for evolution or against evolution. To believe in science, or not to. This questions will satisfy the deepests of all insecruities life could bring.

I sincerely hope I have depicted the essense of studying biology as one of purpose, and not of mindless memory work. Indeed, the human boday and mind is the greatest secret anyone can behold!
