   How many ways you can define the word "usefulness" ?
   
   The word "usefulness" can not really stand on its own. When we use it, we always associate it with different objects, aspects, situations and more. I am interested to know if anyone can sum up the number of ways it can be used. The angles could be anything - funny, grave, satirical, innocent, regular etc.

   Hi Roselyn I have no idea if the way I respond to your question is relevant or not but here goes...
   
   1. Being useful means you can be in for the long haul and build up a legacy to leave behind.
   
   2. Being useful is like cement, your actions are tangible and reliable.
   
   3. Being useful is like bricks and mortar. It makes you a guaranteed entity which means you become bankable literally and metaphorically.
   
   4. Being useful can mean you become deadweight. Too known and too boring.
   
   5. Being useful is like becoming a Tower on high beam where others may want to emulate you to produce the same or similar results.
