17 things you might as well know

1. Tech Tip: If you use your cursor and hover over anything, it will tell you what that thing means.
2. Life hack: If you out the word “bleah” on a test of something, even if you’re confident you did well on it, if you do poorly, when you get it, you can say, “Oh yeah I knew didn’t think I did too well.”
3. Thought: If one does something wrong, justifying those actions (unjustly) is not justification. It's considering oneself as perfect. This justification turns into another channel for Pride. In this situation, bringing silence to the table is Humility.
4. Tech Tip: Remember the 20-20-20 rule: When you’ve been looking at a computer screen for 20 minutes, stare at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This prevents eye strain.
5. Note: Google Docs is geniusly invented. It is easy to use, simple, and really spoils people.
6. Thought: Considering all the wasting of time that goes on in the world, it makes you realize how colossal little habits can become. For example, if someone saved $8 dollars daily for a year, that person would have $3000 by the end of that year. Likewise, reading 10,000 steps a day gets you 70 marathons a year. Reading 20 pages each day gets you 30 average books read each year. On the other hand, wasting 10 minutes of time on the internet each day results in 2.54 days of wasted time! Never underestimate the power of small habits, and small time-wasters. 
7. Good to know: I had a decision to make: two English muffins were left, one with more raisins, one with less. I love raisins. So I picked the one with more. Why not save the better one for later? I was eating and Someone asked me this, namely…my brain. I concluded that when my faith says,“Memento Mori,” that means remember your death in Latin, I remembered my death and thought, “If I die tomorrow I don’t want to have the worst English muffin still in the fridge waiting for me!” And they don’t say Memento Mori when you turn 40 or something like that, do they? Thus, I ate the better English muffin first.
8. Puns for a couple weeks: 1. I'm reading a book on anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down! 2. I asked my phone for directions, and it said, "Even with GPS, I can't navigate through your fluff." 3. I used to be a baker, but I couldn’t make enough dough. 4. I asked someone for a little entertainment. He handed me a mirror. 5. Someone looked at me and I heard them say, “I now know why they invented the mute button.”
9. Thought: Within the hearts of mankind there stands an urge to be Prideful. Lying within this circle of dangerous Pride stands the desire to sin. After all, it was Pride that caused Satan to fall from heaven
10. Poppy Tips: 1. When you have a wife, it's a really good thing. 2. Always look at street signs 3. “After driving on the same roads for 40 years, I know where I;m going…so don’t even try to verify.” 4. Listen to your wife! 5. 
11. Tip: Don’t create a conflict between terms. It confuses people.
12. Bonus Tip: If you’re having trouble getting outta’ bed in the morning, place an alarm clock across the room from your bed so that you have to physically get out of bed to turn it off. This forces you to get out of bed to stop the commotion. It is especially effective in a house of people, because you don’t want to get yelled at for allowing your alarm clock to go off for minutes.
13. Riddle: I'm light as a feather, yet the strongest person can't hold me for much longer than a minute. What am I? (Answer is: one’s Breath)
14. History Overlooked: Nikola Tesla was a brilliant man. Often overlooked by those who read about Thomas Edison, Tesla demonstrated many feats of engineering such as radio transmission, electric radio signals, and he invented the Tesla coil, which transmits energy through pulses in the air. He also had the insight for wireless energy and showcased wireless lighting by illuminating lamps without wires! The car brand Tesla was named after him. He is sometimes referred to as, “Father of Alternating Current.” Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla were “electricity rivals.” 
15.  Ideal: Question: What is the government for? Answer: The government is in place to enforce the law and benefit the good of the people. Ideal: Now that you know this, let me ask you this: What is the government made out of? PEOPLE! And people in the government are not immaculate. That’s why there are enforcements to prevent them taking advantage of the people. But there is an on-going debate about how the government has power over the people. Thus, when the government breaks one of those laws, they may say, “Well too bad…who’s gonna’ enforce those?” This is the trouble with the government. 
16. Math hack: If you’re having trouble figuring out a number that is divisible by 3, simply add up the digits. For example:

          547=5+4+7=16 which isn’t divisible          600=6+0+0=6 which is divisible

18. Computer cleanliness hack: Use a sticky note to clean out crumbs and debris from your keyboard. Simply fold the sticky side over the end of the sticky note and run it between the keys.
