  • Doctor: Never be afraid to get a second opinion. If your doctor is offended, that's one more reason to get one.

  • Teacher: Read to your kids from infancy, make books commonplace, and point out things in the pictures. This helps them develop literacy skills from an early age.

  • Plumber: Check your basement weekly for leaks or signs of damage, and change your air filter regularly.

  • Auto insurance adjuster: Get a dashcam to protect yourself in case of accidents or disputes.

  • Librarian: Ditch Audible and get a library card to listen to free audiobooks. Many libraries offer apps where you can download audiobooks straight to your phone.

  • Government worker: Find life satisfaction outside of the workplace.

  • Sales: Never celebrate until the money is in your account, regardless of how many times the client said yes or if there are signed documents.

  • HR: Underpromise, overdeliver, and keep your mouth shut to maintain a good reputation at work.
