Dedicating yourself to your studies, doing your work properly, knowing how to participate in a conversation with your friends, reading the best-selling books, understanding international politics – the demands of the modern world for a person to be considered intelligent are so diverse that It is difficult to fill in all the questions.
However, not everything we face in life is in the books and is taught in school. With that in mind, check out this list of ten simple things that can make you a person who uses your head with much more objectivity, without demanding too much time or dedication, and be prepared to deal with the following situations.
1 – To plant a garden
When setting up a garden at home, spread out the seeds in a more or less diamond-shaped pattern rather than laying them out in a straight line. This will make the garden look fuller more quickly.
2 – To easily find lost needles and pins in the sewing box
Use a magnet to attract lost needles and pins inside your sewing box. It will prevent you from looking for a long time and even getting hurt on the ends of these objects.
3 – To teach addresses
Including maps and photos of the place you intend for a person to arrive can be very useful and make life easier for those looking for the address. It is often easier to locate yourself when you have a visual reference to orient yourself by.
4 – To separate cups stuck one inside the other
Pouring ice water into the top glass and then soaking both in warm water for a minute or two is a simple way to separate them without breaking them in case they got stuck.
5 – To make juice
The trick is so simple it’s almost unbelievable: before slicing and squeezing an orange, lemon or some other fruit, try rolling it firmly on the sink counter, applying a little pressure over the top of the sink. This will allow you to extract more liquid from the fruit.
6 – To wash windows
Nothing is more irritating than an intriguingly dirty window, without being able to determine whether it is the inside or the outside that remains stained. To avoid this problem, rub it vertically from the inside and horizontally from the outside, or vice versa. That way, if the stain remains, you’ll know exactly which side needs to be rubbed again.
7 – To remove rubber gloves
After washing dishes or the bathroom, if the rubber glove you used gets stuck on your hand, place both hands under cold water. This will make the gloves slide off easily when taking them off.
8 – To defog the mirrors
After showering, to prevent the mirror from being stained by the hot steam, rub it with a little shaving foam, then wipe it with a soft cloth.
9 – To clean glass bottles and vases
Fill them with water and place a denture cleaning tablet inside them. After some time, remove the liquid and let it drain.
10 – To eliminate glass scratches
Try rubbing a cloth with a little toothpaste over scratches in the glass. If the scratches are not too big or deep, they are eliminated.
