Practical Survival Tips they Never Taught You during Boy Scout Trainings
One of the most exciting moments of a boys childhood would be the time he spends training to be a Boy Scout. Not only the fun of camaraderie and teamwork is taught, but how to survive different occasions that call for dedication and determination. However there are things that are never taught during Boy Scout training.
The survival tips taught to boy scouts are indeed useful. Where else would you learn how to build a fire without matches, or how to find your way using a compass. But those things are usually not needed especially in these modern times. What is more important are the tips needed to survive real life such as how to build relationships or how to find your way out of daily struggles.
Here are some practical life survival tips that they never taught you during Boy Scout trainings:
1. When saving, prioritize: first your retirement before your kids college tuition fund. Your kids will be able to find more resources to support their studies than you will have for your retirement funds. You are not being selfish here, just being practical.
2. When you check into modernized hotels, destroy your hotel key card the ones with magnetic strips. These cards might have your credit card information and you would not want others to get hold of them. You are not required to return the key cards to your hotel anyway, so you may keep them and destroy them before anybody with malicious intentions gets hold of these cards.
3. If you want to learn more in school, do not rely solely on the assignments given to you, make your own assignments. Challenging yourself to do beyond what is expected of you makes you strive harder and learn more. This not only applies to school but in work and the real world as well.
4. Most symptoms of common sicknesses are caused by dehydration. When you are sick, whether it be a cold, cough, flu or diarrhea, you feel weak and tired, but usually that is because your body is low in electrolytes and fluids. The next time you do not feel well, try to hydrate yourself by drinking lots of water and taking rehydration salts. If they are not available you may want to use sports drinks.
There are many other important tips in life that are not taught during Boy Scout training. Manyof these tips are even more important than those taught to Boy Scouts. Check these out and see how well they apply to your life.
