When you meet new people, ask 3 questions for every 1 that you answer. People love talking about themselves and are more inclined to connect with you after a 5-10 minute period. This is invaluable in making new friendships, doing business, or having a meaningful network. Not everyone looks like a male underwear model dude. Wear whats comfortable, read, and don't pay any attention to pop culture, whats cool on the internet, or trends. Especially in the sense of trying to be "anti trendy". I've had the same haircut since 1994 and I don't really care. Don't waste time on the superficial and the trends, it will only serve to make you more shallow and less interesting. The only thing I do care about is being clean. Don't smell bad for sure, always wash 100% everyday, but don't bathe in cologne or perfume- or body spray or whatever. It's tacky and can be offensive and ruin meals (like tonight for me). I wish everyone was just neutral smelling. Seems lately that EVERYONE stinks, "good" or bad. I'm so sick of this I'm about to move to the mountains.
As for the second thing you said, that is brilliant. Just asking questions, and listening to people, and showing interest will do so much for you. The cool thing is, most people won't even notice. They will like you a LOT more, think of you as a close friend, and probably won't even know why. The only thing I MIGHT add, is try to remember little things about the person or the things they will surely complain about. Ask them in a couple of days about their car, or their pet... they will think the world of you

Very important:
If you flush the toilet while your in the middle of pissing, you will be able to finish your piss before all the water goes down- saving the time of pressing the flush handle separately

Put a sheet of toilet paper in the toilet before taking an extensive dump. That way the water won't splash!

if you really really need to get some sleep but cant - go out and by some sleeping pills at a right aid or a common pharmacy...

Use aluminum foil correctly.
On the ends of every box of aluminium foil there are tabs to push in the keep the roll from popping out; this also applies to cling film.

If you are thirsty all you need to do is have a drink.

All toilets have a mist splash back once flushed, this is why you are supposed to keep your toothbrush a certain distance from your toilet and always close the lid before flushing. -_-

Some things an old guy realized, just random thoughts:
- tomato sauce tastes much better if it gets cooked slowly and on small flame (90 minutes baby, and use real tomatoes)
- don't speak about drugs on modern (social) media (phone, facebook etc.)
- opening 15 nex against terran is bad
- performance at your job is not the most important thing, marketing your performance is
- bodylotion is good for your skin
- women in general have problems with saying things clearly and precise
- in winter having a warm butt is more important than having warm hands or feet, warm ass and everything is fine
- swimming is really good for endurance and physique
- women like good cooking, train it and you will get good pussy
- dumbness makes happy (borrowed from Lisa Simpson)
- don't drink the hard stuff at the end of the evening when you cannot evaluate how drunk you will be anymore
- if you smoke, buying tobacco,papers and filter tips will save you a lot of money

I always do this, every single time. So handy!

I remember I used to be a little nubling, so weak that anything more than that would get me tired. Then after a time, increase it to fifteen. Then twenty, etc. Now I know that this won't necessarily make you "stronger," but it can improve your self esteem, and get into fitness.
Just thought I'd weigh in and say most people VASTLY underestimate how effective simple pushups can be. Sure, long-term you won't get buff, but they're great to get some base strength. I was at a point where I could barely do 2 pushups (not even exaggerating) before collapsing. Finally I decided I needed some upper body strength, and started doing as many push-ups as I could each night before I went to bed (which at the time was still just two).
A week later I could do 5.
Two weeks later I could do 10.
A month and I got to 20.
Another month I could do 25.
A couple weeks later I could do 30.
That continued until I got to about 60 pushups within I'd say about 6 months (from the start). While this may not seem too impressive, this was all with about 30 seconds to a minute of effort, a day. I'm sure ANYONE can fit 1 minute of exercise into their schedule a day, no matter how busy.
(If you can do 50+ pushups you're better off going to a gym to get more buff. At that point you're mainly building endurance rather than strength, and toning your muscles rather than making them larger.)

if you cut your butthair often it wont stick so much around your pooper after doing your business so you dont have to spend so much time actually wiping, i think it saves you some time.

In defense of this, the reason you want to dress well and look great is because it does wonders for your confidence and in turn, your self-esteem. That's all you are aiming for. If you get actually fitted clothes that match, if you groom your hair, your face and your body, people will notice and you will definitely feel better. And if you feel better, you're a lot more productive.
It doesn't mean following the latest fashion trends, unless you like the way that they look on you. It just means looking in the mirror and going, "Damn, I look good today," and walking outside and some stranger or your friend goes, "Whoa, looking sharp CursOr!" And from that point on, you'll have so much more energy. Being trendy just happens let you look good much easier. But it's not the only way. Look good, feel good, and you'll do well.
Exercise. It doesn't matter how or what, as long as you're pushing yourself every time you do it. It helps so much, really.

When driving in a screw or something comparable, first screw in the opposite direction until it clicks in and then drive it in, that way you will hit the right angle more easily. But i guess everyone probably knows this anyway :D
