Awesome list. Thankfully, I’ve somehow managed to learn many of these, which is pretty f’ing excellent. Some favorites include:

  • #3 – Use Google Effectively – Google knows everything. If you’re having trouble finding something with Google, it’s you that needs help.
  • #5 – Drive a Manual Transmission Vehicle – There will come a time when you’ll be stuck without this knowledge.
  • #16 – Travel Light – Bring only the necessities. It’s the cheaper, easier, smarter thing to do.
  • #17 – Handle the Police – Because jail isn’t fun… and neither is Bubba.
  • #20 – Swim – 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. Learning to swim might be a good idea.
  • #28 – Give a Compliment – It’s one of the greatest gifts you can give someone, and it’s free.
  • #30 – Listen Carefully to Others – The more you listen and the less you talk, the more you will learn and the less you will miss.
  • #31 – Recite Basic Geography – If you don’t know where anything is outside of your own little bubble, most people will assume (and they are probably correct) that you don’t know too much at all.
  • #35 – Flirt Without Looking Ridiculous – There is a fine line between successful flirting and utter disaster. If you try too hard, you lose. If you don’t try hard enough, you lose.
  • #38 – Make a Good First Impression – Aristotle once said, “well begun is half done.”
  • #49 – Hold a Baby – Trust me, injuring a baby is not what you want to do.
