Tricks you should know

 

What are some tricks you should know?

1. When you sign up for anything online, put your middle name with the name of the website. So, when you receive a spam email/ad, you'll know who sold your information.

2.  If you're on the first date and you're not connecting with the other person or think they're dull, ask them what job they'd choose if money wasn't an issue. This ends up starting a conversation about the person's passions, which are rarely boring and are simple to connect with.

3. If you want to be an effective communicator, let others talk about themselves and their interests – it's as rewarding as sex.

4. Don't try to be the man your father would want you to be. Be the man you would like your child to be. It more clearly defines your own convictions, desires, and goals and motivates you to give your best.

5. Pay attention to the smell of your home when you return from a trip – that's how it smells to guests all the time, you just get used to it.

6. When a friend is upset, ask them a simple question before you say anything else: 'Do you want to talk about it or do you want to be distracted by it?'

7. No matter how much your workplace encourages "team building" and "family culture" – remember that they are not your friends and it is still a workplace.

8. If you're stuck on an annoying call, put your phone in airplane mode instead of just hanging up. The other person will see "failed call" instead of "call ended."

9. If you want to learn a new language, find out the 100 most frequently used words and start with them. These words makeup about 50% of everyday speech and should be a very solid foundation.
