Last time I answered this prompt I mentioned some things I like to make sure I know how to do (for the most part) like navigating. I’ll be taking a trip to a new city in a couple of months and I’ve already been looking up places and street names to try to familiarize myself with the area.
Some other things I think everyone should know include:
- How to read instructions (and I mean REALLY read them)
- How to take instructions from people via email and not just act like they know better (I’m looking at all you folks who like to email tech support/help desks and not follow instructions when they’re trying to help you appropriately diagnose your issue. I don’t care if you think you’re tech literate. Do as your told.)
- Similarly, how to give and take criticism!
Too many people think they know better, and they wind up screwing themselves over or hurting other people.
