Q: What can I learn right now in just 10 minutes that could be useful for the rest of my life?
问：有什么是我10分钟就能学会，并且受益终身的？
Any trait, or small trick, or life-hack, anything, other than some trivia or fact.Something one can learn in 10 minutes or so (and perhaps with a bit of practice every day, can excel at it), but it must be useful for the person for the remainder of his or her life.
除了一些冷知识或众所周知的，任何好习惯，小把戏或生活小窍门都可以。那种花十分钟左右就能学会的技能（或许每天花点时间练习就能运用自如），但必须是对人有用且能受益终身的。

How to buy strawberries …
如何选购草莓。
Smell them. If they smell like strawberries buy them, they will taste divine. If they look gorgeous but have no smell, they will have no taste.
闻一闻。如果闻起来有草莓味，那就买吧，一定会好吃到爆。如果仅仅看起来很诱人但却没有草莓味，那么这样的草莓一定会食之无味。
Simple and foolproof. If people give you a strange look because you’re smelling the strawberries, let them not smell and buy the tasteless ones.
操作简单可靠。如果在你闻草莓时，旁人很奇怪的看着你，那么就随他们去闻都不闻就买那些没味道的草莓吧！

How to tell if you are about to buy a juicy orange or grapefruit, no matter what the skin looks like:
怎么判断你要买的橙子或西柚是否美味多汁，不管外皮看上去怎样。
Pick up the orange or grapefruit. If it feels light, it’s not juicy and will taste rather woody.
Go through the bin picking the ones that feel heaviest compared to oranges or grapefruits of a similar size. They’ll be the tastiest ones.
拿起选中的橙子或西柚。如果感觉很轻，那么果汁就不多，吃起来口感会很柴。
翻一下箱子里的其他橙子或西柚，选大小相似但重一些的，这样的才最好吃。
I was shown this trick by a very ancient and rather irritable gentleman when I was in my early 20′s. He literally slapped the orange I was about to bag out of my hand and explained his system. Thanks to him, I’ve enjoyed decades of juicy oranges and grapefruits.
这是在我20岁刚出头时，一位脾气相当急躁的老先生教给我的。他居然真的拍掉了我正要放进袋子里的橙子，然后向我传授他的挑选方法。多亏了他，这几十年我才能一直吃到美味多汁的橙子和西柚。

When your dog won’t come back to you on a walk, don’t chase after her yelling. She’ll think that is the best game in the world and … good luck catching her.
在你遛狗时，如果你的狗乱跑不肯回来，不要边追边唤它。它会把这当成世界上最好玩的游戏，然后……祝你好运能追上它。
Instead, shout happily, “Yeah, Bella, you can’t catch me!” and run like hell in the other direction laughing like a crazy person. Your dog will think you are having a great time and gallop after you to join in.
相反，你应当高兴地对它喊，“耶！Bella，你抓不到我！”，接着边狂笑边向反方向狂奔而去。你的狗狗会觉得你玩的很嗨，然后狂奔过来加入你的“游戏”。
And once you have her back again, don’t scold her for running away. If you do she’ll equate the telling off to her return, not to her bolt for freedom and she will be that much less likely to come to you on recall the next time. Always make coming to you the best thing ever.
一旦它回到你身边，不要责备它乱跑。如果你这么做了，它会以为你责备的是它跑回来，而不是四处乱跑。那么下一次你再唤它回来，就没有那么容易了。要永远让它觉得回到你身边是最棒的事情。

If you ever feel there’s something in your eye, like dust, just do this:
任何时候，如果你觉得眼睛里进了什么东西，比如灰尘，那么就这样做：
Look down, open your eyes wide, and keep blinking.
低头，睁大眼睛，然后不停地眨眼。
Additionally, if the particle is in the extremities, move your eyeball in the opposite direction of where you feel the pain. So if you feel pain at the top, do the above steps but roll your eyeball to the bottom and keep blinking.
另外，如果灰尘在你的眼睛边缘，就向疼痛部位的反方向转动眼球。因此如果是眼睛上部感到疼痛，按照以上步骤来做，即向下转动眼球，然后不停地眨眼。
Learned it from my teacher in first grade and works every time. Even when I’m wearing contacts.
这是我上一年级时我的老师教给我的，百试不爽，哪怕我戴着隐形眼睛。
