10 Things You Can Learn in Less Than 10 Minutes but Use for the Rest of Your Life
While the whole world adores superheroes who save the world without messing up a hair, we suggest you take a look at ordinary people who are even cooler. They know how to save you from an unexpected sneeze in the middle of a family dinner, and they are able to fix a broken zipper and thread a needle faster than you can blink. These are the superpowers we really need, so watch and learn.
10. If you need to zip up a broken zipper:
Keep in mind that you need to put a stopper at the bottom so it won’t come apart again. You can use a drip of hot glue or thread to do this.

- Inhale through your mouth.
- Swallow twice in a row.
- Exhale slowly through your nose.
If you did it correctly, you may have a ticklish feeling, as if you are about to hiccup, but it will be gone completely.
3. If you keep forgetting whether you locked the door:
Try to say something out loud or do something while closing the door or performing any other task that has become automatic. You’ll be able to recall yourself saying it and you’ll know you did the task. We believe that saying or doing something funny will increase the chances of remembering any routine task.
2. If you need to get rid of a stuffy nose:

Lie down on the side that is opposite the blocked nostril and elevate your head with 2–3 pillows. According to the author of the message, this method can help you within several seconds.
