Tips and Tricks of Life?
I just had a thought, I don't know what kind of people come to this site, but maybe some people have tips and tricks on living, remembering things, feeling refreshed, recongnising emotions, reading people like a book? Maybe No-one has any, but if you do, please share the knowledge with others.

never go to sleep mad at anything or anyone, if you do then the next day will probably end up being an unpleasant one.

if you are talking to a woman that is sitting next to you and she crosses her legs so that her top leg is going in your direction, then she is most likely interested in you or whatever you are talking about.

if a man plays with his socks while talking to you then he is probably interested in you.

a good way for me to remember things is to convert whatever it is i am trying to remember in to things that are funny, i remember humorous things very well for some reason.
this is a stupid example, but way back in elm. school when i was memorizing the states and capitals i thought of Michigan as a "machine gun" and Lansing as a "lance" so ive always remebered it.... also the capital of Oman is Muskat and the way i remember that is i say "Oh man! a muskrat!" in my head.... but my geography teacher told me that one.

im sure this method wont work for many people

a good way to tell if a person is lying is to look for "micro expressions" ... not sure if anyone is familar with these, but basically its a fraction of a second where the persons face spazzes out. once youve seen it a few times you can catch a lot of peoples lies. it takes a long time to truly master how to recognize these but there are a lot of books out there about it... its a useful skill.

If any1 has a dumb reason (sometimes any reason) for doing something, think it through because they probably have had a alternate reason for doing so!!

Dont tell people what to do, ask them questions and make it look like they thought of it themselves

NEVER GIVE UP!!

Be careful of reading people like a book they are not written in any language known, you might be writing the page yourself, on remembering things learn not to forget, or write it down, or do it before you forget, recognising emotion's is one thing, knowing your correct to assume a certain reaction is another, tips on living, well live your life to the full once you know how you are going to get the means to, then learn everything you can, earn and save as much as you can so you can retire early, decide on it first and keep at it, travel and enjoy.
