( www.reddit.com )

LPT : Ask people about how they are doing TODAY I first read this somewhere about a decade ago, so it’s not original to me. When you ask someone “How are you?” add “today” to the end.

LPT: beforentraveling in potentially unsafe countries, go to the bank and ask what the lowest value currency they have is and take out $100 worth This will leave you with a fat stack of actual money. Keep this in a money clip, seperate from your travelling money. If you ever get robbed, you can give the thieves this money, they are likely to run off with this feeling they made a big score. submitted by /u/Obvious_Exercise_910

I completely overhauled the first depar…

LPT: ask yourself if this will be worth crying for in 5 years Not romanticizing problems, but I always look back and realize that even 1 year ago I was suffering for something that is irrelevant today. It’s a great exercise to remember that everything is temporary and time can heal most of the things. submitted by /u/Ok_Neck7887
