Learn to cook. It makes you happier and probably healthier.

Fried rice is easy to make and delicious.

When a cop ask you questions, only answer what you are required to answer.

If you are still using Chrome/Edge, try Firefox.

Do not skip going to the dentist.

Don't cheap out on anything that connects you to the ground.

• shoes
• tyres
• chairs
• bed (mattress specifically)

Mine is don't take criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from

Wear hearing protection. Often. I work and talk to a lot of handyman type people and almost all of them have somewhat poor hearing. Even some close to my age (20's). The one thing in common? No hearing protection.

Even though hand tool woodwork is much quieter I still always wear earplugs. Even when running the vacuum I wear hearing protection. I also take it easy with the music, with a great pair of headphones you don't need to crank it up.

Also wear respirators often when dealing with almost any particulate. If you are working on something that produces a lot of dust, you probably want to wear a respirator. Doesn't matter if it's natural, even wood dust can mess you up. Especially during grinding or sanding.

A lot of shitty people will give you flak, but NEVER let people dictate your safety, specifically when they tell you to use less.

Uh, disagree. Chocolate tastes MUCH better at room temperature.

I got all the life advice I needed from the coach in Teen Wolf in 1985:

• Never get less than 12 hours sleep
• Never play poker with a guy whose first name is a city
• Never get involved with a woman whose got a tattoo of a dagger on her body

never get caught up in a land war in southeast asia

Clean the lent trap on the clothes dryer everytime.

Test your smoke detectors at least once a year.

Wear sunscreen.

Read the entire error message, then look it up, before asking for help.

If you have to force it, you're going to break it.

"Your best" looks different every day.

Never buy food when you're hungry. You'll end up wasting money buying more food than you need, and after all is said and done, you'll feel really fat and be ashamed at yourself.

When having a conversation someone, try paying attention to the other person's body language, tone and the way things are said.

You can pick up a lot of things that way, possibly mood and others.

Drink water and exercise

Let ice cream warm up a bit after taking it out the freezer before eating it. Makes it softer and you taste more as your tongue isn't numbed as much.

Don't forget to bring a towel.

Find a chewing gun with xylitol. Chew after meals / snacks sometimes to help keep teeth happy.

Always have some napkins.

Lift weights. It makes your bones stronger, helps you age better. The younger you start, the better, but it's never too late.

Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '99 Wear sunscreen If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it A long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable Than my own meandering experience, I will dispense this advice now Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth Until they've faded, but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back At photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked You are not as fat as you imagine Don't worry about the future Or worry, but know that worrying Is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing Bubble gum The real troubles in your life Are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday Do one thing every day that scares you Saying, don't be reckless with other people's hearts Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours Floss Don't waste your time on jealousy Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults If you succeed in doing this, tell me how Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements Stretch Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life The most interesting people I know Didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't Get plenty of calcium Be kind to your knees You'll miss them when they're gone Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the 'Funky Chicken' On your 75th wedding anniversary Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much Or berate yourself either Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's Enjoy your body, use it every way you can Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room Read the directions even if you don't follow them Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good Be nice to your siblings, they're your best link to your past And the people most likely to stick with you in the future Understand that friends come and go But a precious few, who should hold on Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle For as the older you get The more you need the people you knew when you were young Live in New York City once but leave before it makes you hard Live in northern California once but leave before it makes you soft Travel Accept certain inalienable truths Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too, will get old And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young Prices were reasonable, politicians were noble And children respected their elders Respect your elders Don't expect anyone else to support you Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse But you never know when either one might run out Don't mess too much with your hair Or by the time you're 40 it will look 85 Be careful whose advice you buy but be patient with those who supply it Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past From the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts And recycling it for more than it's worth But trust me on the sunscreen

Use qtips to clean your nose/sinuses.

If you have dandruff, dry skin, or anything that requires special medicated products, buy a few different brands with different active ingredients and rotate your usage between them so your body doesn’t build immunity.

Rinse your razor in cold water when you’re shaving

1. Read your employee handbook. It's boring but let me tell you a story why.

Our handbook stated in bad weather we could use a personal day. No questions asked.

Our team required 24/7 coverage.

I called my boss, asked him if I could work from home due to the bad weather. He said no. I then stated I will be taking a personal day then. He said that I could work from home then. I didn't have to risk my life or vehicle getting into work.

2. Be aware of maintaining your mental health. You can't get it back. I wish I did things differently years ago. Now I'm a walking ball of crippling nonsensical anxiety issues.

Do that thing you want to do but keep pushing ahead because you don't know if you'll be able to do it in the future.

Speaking from experience. Illness is a bummer.

My advice is to keep mint chocolates in the freezer. Especially York's.

Why buy washcloths just cut up a towel
