I have a friend who spent 9 years in jail. When he came out, he showed me a couple tips that can literally save your life.
- Always have an extra door lock (especially if the regular one is not strong enough). That way, it will be much harder for someone to break in. Bonus: you will sleep better at night too.
- Never wear headphones in public (especially in the crowd). You become a lot more vulnerable to all kinds of accidents or attacks. Stay aware – it will be much harder for anyone to do any harm to you.
- When stopped by the police, stay calm, slow down your pace, appear relaxed, stay confident, and say as little as possible.
- Always pay off your debts. It does not matter if it is big or small, 10 years ago or 10 days ago – return whatever you owe to other people.
These 4 habits have saved me from a lot of trouble in life.
