30 Unexpected Gems of Wisdom People Wish Everyone Knew—Prepare to Have Your Mind Blown!
This is the best advice you will ever get. I swear to you.
Heart attacks for women are very different from mens. Men have pain in the chest that goes up the left arm, women experience
•Chest pain or discomfort, upper back or neck pain, indigestion, heartburn, nausea or vomiting, extreme fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath
Fluttering feelings in the chest (palpitations)
Shortness of breath, sudden fatigue, or swelling of the feet, ankles, legs, or abdomen
While driving, maintain a minimum 3 second gap between your car and the car in front.
Pick a stationary reference point like a bridge or lamp post. When the car in front passes it, count “one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three”. If you pass the reference point before you finish counting, you are too close to react in an emergency situation. Back off the gas and increase the distance.
In bad weather, increase the count to four or five.
Anything you say can and will be used AGAINST YOU in a court of law.
Note how there is no mention using what you say to help you.
If you fall into cold water (the ocean) don’t immediately try and swim. Lay on you’re back and try and control your breathing. The cold temperature will take your breath away and you will initially take small quick breaths, you need to slow down your breathing as quickly as possible so your lungs can fill with air, once you have done that you will find it easier to float.
Learning how to get along with people you don’t exactly like in the workplace will do wonders for your career- sometimes it isn’t about having talent it’s enough to be a good decent person to others.
Coming from me- a talentless corporate hire. Aka the personality hire, hahahah!
If you’re outside during a storm and get a metallic taste in your mouth for no seemingly no reason then you’re about to get struck by lightning.
If you’re ever in a survival situation where you have to forage for food, *don’t bother looking for mushrooms*. The likelihood of finding an edible species that won’t make you sick or kill you is so astronomically low that it’s better to just spend that time looking for roots, berries, and herbs.
If a baby’s crying in pain and you can’t figure out why, there’s a good chance they have a muscle cramp. Like, if their big toe is turned down and won’t move, then they probably have a cramp in their foot. I’ve found that stretching the cramped muscle makes it go away almost immediately! So, for the foot cramp, you just grab their big toe and gently but firmly pull their toe up away from the cramp. The cramp will resist at first and that’s why you have to be firm, but once you get past that the cramp and the pain are gone. Then hold the stretch position for a minute to make sure the cramp doesn’t immediately come back.
