Do you know…


  1. Your social security number? No idea! You need this to get a job or collect social security benefits.
  2. Your bank account number? In case you are on holiday and lost your credit cards, ATM, etc, you need to block your bank account, or access it to get money.
  3. The number plate of your car? If your car gets towed away or is stolen, the first thing you will be asked is the number plate of the car.
  4. Your blood type? You only need to know this in case of an emergency, but in that case it is very urgent to know the answer.
  5. If you are allergic? To prevent unnecessary reactions to certain types of foods or medicines it is good to know if you are allergic or not.
  6. Your own cell phone number? Eh.. save it in your phone.
  7. The passwords? of all your email accounts, forums, customer accounts, etc. Make a list the old fashioned way with pen and paper and store it in a safe place.
  8. How to change a tire? Or jump-start a car?
  9. Where your insurance papers are? And how about diploma’s, passport, guarantee papers, receipts, etc. Sort them and keep them in files.
  10. If your breath is fresh? Lick the back of your hand, let it dry and smell.
Never memorize something that you can look up.

    I know most of them but could stand to memorize the bank account # and license plate. Good reminder of just how much we take for granted.
