每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該知道怎么做的一件事是什么（上）

Lynette El Sherif, Under Employed, by Choice. at Lexus (2003-present)
Everyone, once they mature should know the following,
1. You should know how to start a fire without matches.
You never know when this might come in handy- a fire is one of the most important elements for survival for a human being- providing warmth, light, and energy.
2. You should know basic survival skills.
Should you ever be stranded in a forest or forced to survive outside, you’d want to know the best places to get water, what you can and cannot eat in the wild, where to build a makeshift bed, how to catch a fish, how to correctly cross a river, how to keep your core body temperature high… and much more. Get a survival guide and begin learning.

每個(gè)人，只要他們長(zhǎng)大了，應(yīng)該知道以下幾點(diǎn)，
你應(yīng)該知道如何不用火柴生火：你永遠(yuǎn)不知道什么時(shí)候此技能可能會(huì)被派上用場(chǎng)——火是人類生存的最重要的元素之一——提供溫暖、光和能量。
你應(yīng)該知道基本的生存技能：當(dāng)你困在森林或生存絕境時(shí),你應(yīng)該要知道最先找水源；在野生環(huán)境中你能做什么和不什么能吃；建立一個(gè)臨時(shí)的床；如何抓魚；如何正確地過(guò)河；如何保持你的核心體溫等等。找一個(gè)生存指南，然后開始學(xué)習(xí)這些內(nèi)容吧。

3. You should know how to grow your own vegetables.
Even if you live in a city, you should make an effort to learn to grow your own food- including all kinds of vegetables, herbs and fruits. It takes a lot of skill, experience and time to make these plants yield valuable output- so if you’re interested in learning this- don’t waste another minute. You might need this skill one day.
4. You should know how to swim.
If you don’t know how to swim yet, you need to seriously consider learning. There are a number of emergency situations where you might need to swim in order to survive or help someone else in the water.
5. You should know how to change a tire.
It’s possible you get a flat while on a trip one day, with no access to a car repair place; perhaps even stranded in the middle of nowhere. What if no one on this trip knew how to change the tire? Changing a tire is something you can learn how to do in a matter of minutes that could save you lots of time and headaches on your next road trip.

你應(yīng)該知道如何種植蔬菜：即使你住在城市里，你也應(yīng)該努力學(xué)習(xí)種植自己的食物——包括各種蔬菜、草藥和水果。要使這些植物產(chǎn)生有價(jià)值的產(chǎn)出，需要大量的技能、經(jīng)驗(yàn)和時(shí)間，因此，如果你有興趣學(xué)習(xí)這一點(diǎn)，不要再浪費(fèi)一分鐘?？傆幸惶炷銜?huì)需要這種技能的。
你應(yīng)該會(huì)游泳：如果你還不會(huì)游泳，你需要認(rèn)真考慮學(xué)習(xí)。有許多緊急情況下，你可能需要游泳，以在水中生存或幫助別人。
你應(yīng)該知道如何更換輪胎：有一天，你可能在旅途中遇到該情況，碰巧沒有修車的地方；就可能被困在一個(gè)偏僻的地方。如果這次旅行沒同行知道怎么換輪胎呢？換輪胎是一件你可以在幾分鐘內(nèi)學(xué)會(huì)的事情，它可以在你下次的公路旅行中為你節(jié)省大量的時(shí)間和避免頭痛。

6. You should know how to jump start a car.
This isn’t as easy as it seems. If you watched your parents do this in the past but never learned for yourself, now’s your chance. Don’t be unprepared when the need for it arisesIt’s very useful knowledge to have, and very common to need this skill one day.
7. You should know how to code. very important!!!!
Not knowing how to program will soon become synonymous to being illiterate. It doesn’t seem this way yet, but this age is coming. If you don’t know how to program, you’re
merely consuming the whole world around you, which is programmed. It’s important to know how to navigate this new world by being able to tell the computer what to do. If you want to start empowering yourself, here are some resources.
8. You should know how to build a website. ditto
Another issue of basic technological literacy. Everyone should have a website- whether it’s personal or for a business. If you don’t know the basics of building a website, you have to hire someone or buy a template. You are going to benefit a great deal from learning. It’s also a great way to earn side income.

你應(yīng)該知道如何發(fā)動(dòng)汽車：這并不像看上去那么容易。如果你看著你的父母在過(guò)去這樣做，但從來(lái)沒有學(xué)習(xí)，現(xiàn)在是你的機(jī)會(huì)。當(dāng)需要它的時(shí)候，不要毫無(wú)準(zhǔn)備，它是非常有用的知識(shí)，并且有一天經(jīng)常需要具備這種技能。
你應(yīng)該知道如何編碼，非常重要：知道如何編程很快就會(huì)成為文盲的代名詞。現(xiàn)在看來(lái)還不是這樣，但這個(gè)時(shí)代正在到來(lái)。如果你不知道如何編程，那你就是消耗你周圍的整個(gè)世界，編程通過(guò)告訴計(jì)算機(jī)該做什么，知道如何駕馭這個(gè)新世界是很重要的。如果你想開始賦予自己權(quán)力，這里有許多資源。
你應(yīng)該知道如何建立一個(gè)網(wǎng)站：又是一個(gè)基本技術(shù)素養(yǎng)。每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該有一個(gè)網(wǎng)站，無(wú)論是個(gè)人網(wǎng)站還是企業(yè)網(wǎng)站。如果你不知道建立一個(gè)網(wǎng)站的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)，你就得雇人或者買一個(gè)模板。你將從學(xué)習(xí)中受益匪淺。這也是賺取額外收入的好方法。

9. You should know how to think critically and question the status quo.
With all this information at our fingertips, now more than ever, we need to be able to think for ourselves, question the current way of doing things, and be critical of all forms of media, government and education.
10. You should know how to cook an egg (correctly!)
Too many people are ruining breakfast by mucking this up. C’mon people- it’s time to learn the right way of doing this. Runny or under cooked eggs are not only bad for your taste buds, but it could also increase your chances of getting salmonella.
11. You should know how to perform CPR.
Do you want to save a life? 70 percent of Americans feel helpless during a cardiac emergency, and here’s another surprising statistic- the life you save is most likely the life of someone you love, because 4 out of 5 cardiac arrests occur at home.

你應(yīng)該知道如何批判性地思考和質(zhì)疑現(xiàn)狀：我們現(xiàn)在比以往任何時(shí)候都更需要能夠獨(dú)立思考，質(zhì)疑當(dāng)前的做事方式，對(duì)各種形式的媒體、政府和教育持批評(píng)態(tài)度。
你應(yīng)該知道怎么煮雞蛋：太多的人把這件事搞砸了，毀了早餐。來(lái)吧，是時(shí)候?qū)W習(xí)正確的方法了。過(guò)生或過(guò)熟的雞蛋不僅對(duì)你的味蕾有害，還可能增加你感染沙門氏菌的機(jī)會(huì)。
你應(yīng)該知道如何做心肺復(fù)蘇術(shù)：你想救一條命嗎？70%的美國(guó)人在心臟急癥時(shí)感到無(wú)助，下面是另一個(gè)令人驚訝的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字——你所救的生命很可能是你所愛的人的生命，因?yàn)槲宸种牡男呐K驟停事故發(fā)生在家里。

12. You should know how to manage your time.
Time management is a precise art and science, and if you haven’t studied it yet, you should. Applying these principles of time management to your life can get you back precious hours you didn’t know you had, and completely eliminate much of your productivity destroying behavior.
13. You should know how to dress properly.
First impressions are important. Dressing to impress means being tidy, up to date on fashion, looking as professional as you can, dressing for your body, and if you’re advanced, bringing some personality into it.
14. You should know how to approach and meet new people.
Even if you’re an introvert, it is important to have the ability to walk up to a new person and hold a nice conversation. Meeting people is a great way to learn new things, expand your network, and gain new opportunities in life.

你應(yīng)該知道如何管理你的時(shí)間：時(shí)間管理是一門精確的藝術(shù)和科學(xué)，如果你還沒有學(xué)過(guò)，你應(yīng)該學(xué)。把這些時(shí)間管理的原則應(yīng)用到你的生活中，可以讓你利用你不知道自己擁有的寶貴時(shí)間，并且完全減少內(nèi)耗。
你應(yīng)該知道如何穿著得體：第一印象很重要，穿衣要給人留下深刻印象，意味著要整潔、要跟上時(shí)尚潮流、要看起來(lái)盡可能專業(yè)、要量體裁衣，如果你是高端人士，要帶點(diǎn)個(gè)性。
你應(yīng)該知道如何接近和結(jié)識(shí)新朋友：即使你是一個(gè)內(nèi)向的人，也是要有能力與新認(rèn)識(shí)的人和舉行愉快的交談。與人交往是學(xué)習(xí)新事物、拓展人際網(wǎng)絡(luò)、獲得人生新機(jī)會(huì)的好方法。

15. You should know how to lift your own weight.
If you can lift your own weight, it also means you can lift a lot of things without having to rely on someone else. Having strength is always a handy trait to have and, in case of an emergency involving hanging off a ledge, you’ll be able to pull yourself out of trouble with ease.
16. You should know how to remember peoples’ names.
Most people are tired of that excuse that seems to glide off of so many people’s lips “I’m not good at remembering names…” Let’s stop making this excuse because a person’s name is the single most important thing you can possibly remember when you meet someone new. A good way to remember someone’s name is to say it at least twice during the conversation.
17. You should know how to give a toast in front of lots of people.
Public speaking is the number one fear in the world (ranking higher than the fear of death.) It’s a fear, but if you practice, it’s not that scary. Learning to say a few words in front of a large or small group is a huge asset that can be used in so many instances, professional and personal. For example, you may need to give a toast at a wedding some day. Don’t you want to be prepared and make it awesome? Go to a local Toastmasters Club meeting and try it out.

你應(yīng)該知道如何舉重：如果你能舉起等同于自己的重量的東西，也意味著你可以舉起很多東西而不必依賴別人。有力量總是一個(gè)方便的特點(diǎn)，而且，在緊急情況下，包括掛在窗臺(tái)上時(shí)，你可以輕松地讓自己從困境中走出來(lái)。
你應(yīng)該知道如何記住別人的名字：大多數(shù)人都厭倦了那些借口“我不擅長(zhǎng)記住名字……”讓我們不要再找這個(gè)借口了，因?yàn)楫?dāng)你遇到一個(gè)新朋友時(shí)，名字是你能記住的最重要的一件事。記住某人名字的一個(gè)好方法是在談話中至少說(shuō)兩次它。
你應(yīng)該知道如何在很多人面前說(shuō)話：公開演講是世界上最大的恐懼（排名高于對(duì)死亡的恐懼）。這是一種恐懼，但如果你練習(xí)它，就沒那么可怕了。學(xué)會(huì)在大大小小的群體面前說(shuō)幾句話是一筆巨大的財(cái)富，可以用在很多場(chǎng)合，無(wú)論是專業(yè)的還是個(gè)人的。例如，你可能需要在某一天的婚禮上說(shuō)話。你不想做好準(zhǔn)備讓它變得很棒嗎？去一個(gè)當(dāng)?shù)氐难葜v俱樂部會(huì)議，試試看。

18. You should know how to negotiate.
Good negotiation skills can save you a ton of money. These skills can also get you that raise at your job you’ve been dreaming about. If you know how to negotiate properly, it means you’re holding all the cards and you’re prepared to battle it out.
19. You should know how to detect a lie.
Learning to detect when someone is lying to you seems like a sneaky thing to do, but you’d be surprised how handy it could become, especially if you’re raising children, or in charge of a huge team. It gives you the chance to consider all possibilities in a relationship. Did you know 91 percent of humans lie on a regular basis at work and at home, and you’re lied to about 2 or 3 times in a ten minute conversation? Yeah. Food for thought.
20. You should know how to shut up and listen genuinely.
If you learn to do this well, you will be loved and admired, and you will understand people better. It can improve relationships drastically, and ultimately make you a more compassionate person.

你應(yīng)該知道如何談判：好的談判技巧可以幫你省很多錢。這些技能也能讓你在夢(mèng)寐以求的工作崗位上得到提升。如果你知道如何恰當(dāng)?shù)卣勁?，那就意味著你掌握了所有的牌，你已?jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了決一死戰(zhàn)。
你應(yīng)該知道如何發(fā)現(xiàn)謊言：當(dāng)有人對(duì)你撒謊時(shí)，學(xué)會(huì)察覺似乎是一件偷偷摸摸的事情，但你會(huì)驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)這會(huì)變得多么方便，尤其是當(dāng)你在撫養(yǎng)孩子，或者管理一個(gè)龐大的團(tuán)隊(duì)時(shí)。它讓你有機(jī)會(huì)考慮一段關(guān)系中的所有可能性。你知道嗎，91%的人經(jīng)常在工作和家里撒謊，在10分鐘的談話中，你會(huì)被騙2到3次？，這值得深思。
你應(yīng)該知道如何閉嘴，真誠(chéng)地傾聽：如果你學(xué)會(huì)做好這件事，你會(huì)被愛和欽佩，你會(huì)更好地理解別人。它可以極大地改善人際關(guān)系，最終使你成為一個(gè)更有同情心的人。

21. You should know how to tell a good story.
It sucks being the one person around the campfire who has nothing to offer, doesn’t it? Learn how to tell a good story that will have people using their imaginations again. When the power goes out or there’s no cell phone service available, you’ll be a valuable source of entertainment to everyone.
22. You should know how to defend yourself against single and multiple assailants.
Why? Learning self-defense makes you more aware of your surroundings, first of all. You also stop taking physical confrontations for granted. You’re more likely able to avoid a fight effectively if you’ve learned the art of self defense in the first place.
23. You should know how to use a credit card correctly.
It’s not cash…too many Americans use their credit cards irresponsibly, and in doing so, spend much more money on items than they are actually worth, pay tons of fees, and don’t have the ability to reap the many benefits of the cards. Credit card balances are supposed to be paid in full every month and they are not supposed to allow you to live beyond your means.

你應(yīng)該知道如何講一個(gè)好故事：在營(yíng)火旁說(shuō)不出任何東西，這很尷尬，不是嗎？學(xué)習(xí)如何講一個(gè)好故事，讓人們?cè)俅伟l(fā)揮想象力。當(dāng)停電或沒有手機(jī)服務(wù)時(shí)，你將成為每個(gè)人寶貴的娛樂來(lái)源。
你應(yīng)該知道如何抵御一個(gè)或多個(gè)襲擊者：為什么？首先，學(xué)會(huì)自衛(wèi)會(huì)讓你更加了解周圍的環(huán)境。你也不再認(rèn)為被動(dòng)挨打是唯一的。如果你一開始就學(xué)會(huì)了自衛(wèi)的藝術(shù)，你就更有可能有效地避免打架。
你應(yīng)該知道如何正確使用信用卡：這不是現(xiàn)金，太多美國(guó)人不負(fù)責(zé)任地使用信用卡，花在物品上的錢比實(shí)際價(jià)值多得多，支付了大量的費(fèi)用，而且沒有能力從信用卡中獲得許多好處。信用卡余額應(yīng)該每月全額還款，不應(yīng)該讓你入不敷出。

24. You should know how to invest in the stock market.
It’s not as difficult as you might think. Educate yourself! Money does grow if you know how to invest it correctly. You really have no excuse to not invest. There are a number of ways to invest by diversifying your portfolio automatically and manually through index or life cycle funds. Investing in the the stock market is not about picking stocks, as Ramit Sethi loves to point out.
25. You should know how to speak at least one or two languages besides English.
Did you know that 75% of the world does not speak English? That’s a lot of people you won’t be able to communicate with if you happen to be in an area where English isn’t their first language. Expand your horizons and make an effort to communicate with the rest of the world. Start with Chinese!
26. You should know how to make money (without a job.)
Jobs and paychecks are not the only way to earn money. There are many entrepreneurs out there who know this, but there are just as many people who are wondering how it’s done while slaving away at jobs. There is another way, and it’s not magic, or the lottery. It’s determination, investing in your own education, and lots of sweat. And it’s definitely possible. Instead of plopping down in front of the t.v. after work, set some time aside to learns something and build up your educational and entrepreneurial skills.

你應(yīng)該知道如何投資于股市：這并不像你想象的那么難。教育你自己！如果你知道如何正確投資，錢確實(shí)會(huì)增長(zhǎng)。你真的沒有理由不投資。通過(guò)指數(shù)或生命周期基金自動(dòng)或主動(dòng)分散投資組合，有多種投資方式。正如Ramit Sethi喜歡說(shuō)那樣，投資股市并不是挑選股票。
除了英語(yǔ)外，你至少應(yīng)該會(huì)說(shuō)一兩種語(yǔ)言：你知道世界上75%的人不說(shuō)英語(yǔ)嗎？如果你碰巧身處一個(gè)英語(yǔ)不是他們第一語(yǔ)言的地區(qū)，你將無(wú)法與很多人交流。拓展你的視野，努力與世界其他地方交流。從中文開始！
你應(yīng)該知道如何賺錢（沒有工作時(shí)）：工作和薪水并不是掙錢的唯一途徑。有很多企業(yè)家知道這一點(diǎn)，但也有同樣多的人想知道，在拼命工作的同時(shí)，這是怎么做到的。還有另外一種方法，不是魔術(shù)，也不是彩票。這是決心，為自己的學(xué)習(xí)投資，還有大量的努力汗水。這絕對(duì)是可能的。與其下班后撲通一聲趴在電視機(jī)前，不如留出一些時(shí)間學(xué)點(diǎn)東西，提升知識(shí)儲(chǔ)備和創(chuàng)業(yè)技能。

27. You should know how to manage your personal finances.
This means knowing how to create a budget, knowing how to save money, automating your income and learning to invest and pay yourself first, before paying all your bills.
28. You should know how to draw.
In A Whole New Mind, Daniel Pink talks about the importance of flexing our “right brain” muscles, by learning creative skills such as drawing. Learning to draw will actually improve leadership ability in a person, and enhance and develop traits like empathy, inventiveness, and big-picture thinking.
29. You should know how to be a respectful house guest.
You never know when you might need to accept the hospitality of another human being. Know the proper etiquette of being a house guest. A great way to do this is by inviting guests into your own home. You’ll quickly learn (the hard way) what behavior is highly questionable and disrespectful if your guest is not practicing proper etiquette.

你應(yīng)該知道如何管理個(gè)人財(cái)務(wù)：這意味著知道如何制定預(yù)算，知道如何省錢，使你的收入自動(dòng)化，并學(xué)會(huì)在支付所有賬單之前先投資自己。
你應(yīng)該會(huì)畫畫：在一個(gè)全新的想法中，丹尼爾·平克談到了通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)繪畫等創(chuàng)造性技能來(lái)鍛煉我們“右腦”肌肉的重要性。學(xué)習(xí)繪畫實(shí)際上會(huì)提高一個(gè)人的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力，增強(qiáng)和發(fā)展同理心、創(chuàng)造力和大局思維等特質(zhì)。
你應(yīng)該知道如何做一個(gè)有禮貌的客人：你永遠(yuǎn)不知道什么時(shí)候你需要接受別人的請(qǐng)客。要懂得做客的禮儀。一個(gè)很好的方法是邀請(qǐng)客人到你自己的家里。如果你的客人沒有遵守正確的禮儀，你很快就會(huì)知道什么行為是非常值得質(zhì)疑和不尊重的。

30. You should know how to keep your computer secure.
With all the information security threats and identity theft these days, we all want to make sure our computer is secure, our personal data is private (as much as possible), and our firewalls are up. Do you know how to set yours up? This is basic computer literacy and probably one of the more important things to be aware of.
31. You should know how to navigate with a map and compass (without a GPS).
Not to mention- learn to find the north star, learn to get your east/west bearings from the sun… what if you’re on a trip and your GPS system fails you?
32. You should know how to sew.
Basic sewing skills- such as sewing a button back onto a coat the right way, or fixing a loose shirt sleeve- will save you a few extra trips to the shopping mall. Advanced sewing skills also improves self-confidence (the knowledge you can mend everyday items), promotes focus (because it requires physical and mental concentration), and teaches persistence (most sewing projects take a considerable amount of time.)

你應(yīng)該知道如何保護(hù)你的電腦安全：隨著所有的信息安全威脅和身份盜竊，我們都想確保我們的電腦是安全的，我們的個(gè)人資料是私人的，我們的防火墻已經(jīng)啟動(dòng)。你知道怎么設(shè)置你的嗎？這是基本的計(jì)算機(jī)知識(shí)，可能是要注意一項(xiàng)更重要的事情。
你應(yīng)該知道如何使用地圖和指南針導(dǎo)航（沒有GPS時(shí)）：更不用說(shuō)學(xué)會(huì)尋找北極星，學(xué)會(huì)利用太陽(yáng)判斷東西方位，如果你在旅行中，你的GPS系統(tǒng)失靈了怎么辦？
你應(yīng)該會(huì)縫紉：基本的縫紉技巧——比如用正確的方法把紐扣縫回到外套上，或者把寬松的襯衫袖子修好——可以幫你省下去購(gòu)物中心的額外行程。先進(jìn)的縫紉技術(shù)還可以提高自信（你可以會(huì)修補(bǔ)日常用品的知識(shí)），促進(jìn)專注（因?yàn)檫@需要身體和精神的專注），并教會(huì)你堅(jiān)持（大多數(shù)縫紉項(xiàng)目需要相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間）

There is a method to this, it’s not an automatically occurring thing- people who are genuinely happy are happy despite their circumstances, not the other way around.

你應(yīng)該知道如何旅行：一旦你學(xué)會(huì)了這項(xiàng)技能，你就再也不想花錢買機(jī)票了。只需在你的搜索引擎中輸入“旅行密碼”，就可以開始玩了。
你應(yīng)該知道怎么買車才不會(huì)被人騙：如果你不知道買車（尤其是二手車）的正確方法，你會(huì)被敲詐的。你想被敲詐嗎？我想是的?，F(xiàn)在去學(xué)習(xí)。
你應(yīng)該知道如何快樂：有一個(gè)方法可以做到這一點(diǎn)，它不是自動(dòng)發(fā)生的事情，真正的快樂的人，不管他們的環(huán)境如何，總是快樂的而不會(huì)隨環(huán)境而變。

36. You should know how to fix a bike flat.
Most people like to ride bikes. Most people don’t know how to fix a bike flat. If it happens to you that you get a bike flat, and you don’t know how to fix it, you will be walking home- carrying a heavy bike. Ouch.
37. You should know how to have a conversation with someone of any age.
It’s a sign of true maturity and humanity when a person can hold a quality conversation with a 5 year old or a 92 year old person without flinching. You will also learn so much about life if you do this regularly.
38. You should know how to drive a manual transmission vehicle.
People who drive stick shift (manual transmission) cars understand their car engines better than people who drive automatic transmission vehicles. Manual transmission vehicles are more energy efficient than automatic transmission vehicles. They are also more responsive to braking and accelerating, and they are safer because of this higher level of control from the driver. A more informed and advanced driver is also a safer driver. Finally, many parts of the world drive manual transmission cars more than automatic cars, and you may need to know how to drive one at some point in your life!

你應(yīng)該知道怎么把自行車修好：大多數(shù)人喜歡騎自行車。大多數(shù)人不知道如何修理自行車。如果你碰巧把一輛自行車弄壞了，而你又不知道如何修理它，你就只能背著一輛重型自行車步行回家了。天哪。
你應(yīng)該知道如何與任何年齡的人交談：當(dāng)一個(gè)人能毫不退縮地和一個(gè)5歲或92歲的人進(jìn)行一次有質(zhì)量的談話時(shí)，這是一個(gè)真正成熟的人的標(biāo)志。如果你經(jīng)常這樣做，你也會(huì)學(xué)到很多關(guān)于生活的知識(shí)。
你應(yīng)該知道如何駕駛手動(dòng)檔車輛：駕駛手動(dòng)檔汽車的人比駕駛自動(dòng)檔汽車的人更了解他們的汽車發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)。手動(dòng)變速器車輛比自動(dòng)變速器車輛更節(jié)能。它們對(duì)剎車和加速的反應(yīng)也更靈敏，而且由于駕駛員更高水平的控制力，它們更安全。一個(gè)更有見識(shí)的司機(jī)也是一個(gè)更注重安全的司機(jī)。最后，世界上許多地方駕駛手動(dòng)檔的汽車多于自動(dòng)檔的汽車，你可能需要知道如何駕駛一它！

39. You should know how to back up your data.
We accumulate so much digital data these days! In addition to being able to do some spring cleaning and organization of your data, you should have a clear system in place for regularly backing up your data- whether it’s to a cloud storage location or your own physical external hard drives. Hardware can break (and of course so can software) and having an extra copy of all your data is pretty essential these days.
40. You should know how to say “I’m sorry” and “I was wrong.”
You know who you are! Being able to admit your faults once in a while takes effort, practice, and a change of attitude. It can repair broken relationships, heal scars, and bring the conversation back to the important things in life.

43. You should know how the basics of how to repair a car.
I am always amazed at how the guys from Top Gear (the original, British version) can fix a broken down car in the middle of driving through some crazy salt flats, or the desert.

Whether it’s for the person who interviewed you for a new job, a trusted mentor, an old boss, or even your own parents- a thank you note goes a very long way.
