Chapter 573 Those Little Habits in Life That We Saw Unintentionally But Have Always Maintained
Those little habits you noticed by chance but have consistently maintained
I read an article about weight loss, and one part of it said that you should eat vegetables first, then meat, and finally rice, because the stomach will absorb the nutrients from the vegetables first, while rice is the most fattening, so you should leave it for last.
I was born in 1991, and my weight hasn't exceeded 100 jin (50 catties) yet.
I saw a science program on TV that said you should close the toilet lid when flushing, otherwise poop will splash out. Since then, I always close the toilet lid before flushing.
[The "Household Management Queen" on Hebei TV taught me a trick: if you're moving heavy boxes, put an empty box at the bottom, and it becomes much easier. Now I always put lighter boxes at the bottom when moving things, and it's effortless.]
"I also remember the time Jackie Chan made Jaycee Chan use two sheets of toilet paper when he pooped. It left a deep impression on my little father back then."
"My cousin said something that I've remembered for over ten years: 'Never sleep with your mouth open, or you'll have a protruding mouth and exposed teeth, which looks awful.' I always sleep with my mouth closed, and I was very self-conscious about it when I was little. Now that I'm older, everyone around me has protruding or crooked teeth, but mine is still okay."
"I forgot where I read it, but it said never forget to rub behind your ears when you take a shower. From now on, I'll rub behind my ears first when I shower [laughing and crying emoji]"
"The reason you shouldn't wet your toothpaste when brushing is because it foams more easily, and some people think that their teeth are clean enough and stop brushing. Actually, it doesn't matter whether you wet your toothpaste or not, as long as you make sure you brush every surface of every tooth in the correct order (the Bass brushing technique is currently the mainstream). And make sure your teeth are clean. Oh, and remember to use mouthwash and dental floss properly."
"My parents taught me from a young age to always put things back in their place after using them, and I think this has been extremely helpful in my later studies, life, and work."
"Every time I close a door or lower a curtain, I have to look behind me to see if anyone is there. If so, I wait for someone to catch me before I leave. The same goes for opening doors."
If you throw trash into the trash can and it doesn't go in, you should pick it up and throw it in instead of just walking away.
"There was an experiment on Happy Camp where a rapidly spinning wheel wouldn't fall over no matter how you pressed it. After watching that episode, I learned how to ride a bicycle [laughs]"
"When handing over scissors, I always make sure the pointed end is facing me and the handle is facing the other person. I learned this habit from TV dramas, and it makes me feel especially gentlemanly and cool."
"My dad taught me from a young age to turn the tap towards cold water after using hot water, so as not to scald the next person. I think this is very necessary because I've been scalded by others several times."
Our ancestors under the sky: Our family also taught us many good habits.
For example, when talking to someone, if the distance is close, you might cover your mouth with your sleeve. This is to prevent your saliva from accidentally splashing onto the other person when you are excited, and also to prevent others from smelling your breath.
Also, they told me not to spread rumors or gossip about other people's private affairs, but only to keep them to myself. After all, loose lips sink ships, and you never know what kind of impact your idle talk might have on others and, in turn, on yourself.
After this habit continued, I found that people who came into contact with me said that I was particularly mindful of boundaries, enjoyed chatting with me, and would tell me first if they had something to say to someone. Even if my superiors had something unimportant, they would not bother to send me away and would talk to me in front of me.
They seem to have a lot of trust in my character, and they've implicitly agreed that I'll keep quiet about their affairs.
This feeling is a bit strange, but it doesn't seem too bad. After all, I've made quite a few friends in officialdom by relying on these two good habits.
An unnamed assassin who roams the martial world: I usually keep a knife under my pillow, a few small bells by my bedside, hanging from thin threads, and a few deadly poison needles hidden in my hair.
There was no other way; I was used to living a life of constant danger. For someone like me, the martial world was fraught with potential peril.
What I fear most is encountering someone with malicious intent seeking revenge or a fellow professional committing murder and stealing my livelihood. If I don't prepare anything, I might one day be killed by my enemies and die a violent death in the street, with no one caring about me.
When you've been doing something for a long time, you have to leave yourself some things to protect yourself, just in case.
Just like a couple of days ago, on a dark and windy night, while I was sound asleep, a thief went to steal from someone's house. Of all people, he stole from me! Luckily, I had tampered with the house. As soon as he came over, I heard the bells ringing. I immediately got up and subdued the thief in no time.
He begged me for mercy, but what good did begging do?
Well... being good-looking might actually be useful. I took all the money from this petty thief and then mercifully spared his life.
The petty thief who stole the money: You're talking nonsense! You not only stole my money, but you also took advantage of me and groped me.
Bah! What a miserable night! After working so hard all day, not only did I lose all the money I stole, but I also got taken advantage of by that pervert. I lost everything! That scoundrel who stole my money deserves to die!
