Handy Body Language

A useful skill to know is the skill of reading another's body language; here are a few tips/tricks
  • A person with their feet pointing his/her foot at you is paying attention (usually)
  • People grab their chins and look up to their right when they are thinking/making decisions
  • In a sitting situation, sitting across a corner, or at a 90 degree angle to them, will make people more agreeable and receptive to each others ideas than if you sit straight across from them
  • People who hide their palms might be lying, though introverted people also do this
  • Quick pupil contractions might show signs of a liar
  • Someone who turns their body away or cannot look you in the eye might be showing guilt or dishonesty
  • Pointing at an object with palm open other than with one finger is subconsciously deemed more polite and seems more in the natural order of things by people and thus makes it easier to get them to do what you want (ex: having someone pick up a magazine for you)

Wash the Lid

You might drink from soda cans or beer cans on occasion or quite frequently, but what you probably don't know is the conditions in which the cans are handled and manufactured in. Think of most of the workers at these can-producing plants, being of minimum wage and/or on the lower economic spectrum, might make for some very unsanitary hands touching the lid that you might be drinking from. A way to keep yourself clean and reduce the chance of catching an illness, wash the lid of the can before you drink from it.

Moving Onward: Free Food from Wendy's

As i continue with the poppy growing, we move on to what i like to call "Free Food from Wendy's"
Not known to many, a rule at Wendy's is that if someone pulls through the drive-thru saying that they are not used to the area, from around the area, or have no money, Wendy's Compensates with FREE FOOD.

An easy way to potentially abuse this rule just requires one to say any of the excuses above though it might be needed at some Wendy's to have proof of not being from the area.

First Off: Planting and Growing

Growing is a very productive, useful, and rewarding skill (both mentally, and monetarily) as there are many plants which can feed you, or add zest to your housing/living area. Also some plants can rake in quite a profit.
In my next few posts i will show you how to grow in no time at all with minimal effort through my own project with growing poppies.
