What better way to express your joy than by slamming your palm at Mach speed into your buddy's? The resulting thunderclap serves not just as a celebration of your own glory but also as a cacophonous warning blast to any would-be competitors within earshot. Start with Step 1 below to learn how to high five like a true champion.

 

Method 1

 

1. Grab a partner: You can't do a high five by yourself. This is instead called clapping. To perform a true high five, you'll need someone who's willing to join in your celebration. Ideally, you'll want someone with good upper body strength and strong forearms.

* For the best high fives, you'll also want a great cause for celebration. It's difficult to replicate the spontaneous energy of true celebratory joy in a sterile "practice" environment, so look for opportunities to vanquish foes or do cool skateboard tricks wherever you go.

 

2. Make sure you have a good posture. To put maximum power into your high five, you'll want to have sturdy posture. Plant your feet firmly on the ground about shoulder-width apart, keep your back straight, and roll your shoulders back as you puff up your chest. This strong stance allows you push off the floor, transferring power up through your body and into your wrist for an ear-splitting result.

* Bad posture won't just make your high fives weaker - it'll also make you look worse. If you're slumped over with your gut hanging out as you go in for a high five, your friend will be able to tell that your heart isn't in it and will have ample justification for aborting the high five.

 

3. Smile. High fives are primarily acts of celebration, but they're also cause for celebration in and of themselves. There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be smiling as you high five. Being able to high five is a great honor - never take it for granted with a half-hearted smirk.

* The sole exception to this rule is that in the few seconds after your hand makes contact with your partner's, it's acceptable to wince in righteous pain.

 

4. Wind up. Start to move toward your partner. As you take your first few steps, bring your dominant hand back as if you're about to throw a baseball. Your hand should rest in this "cocked" position with its palm open roughly behind your ear.

* You may twist slightly at the waist and/or lean back slightly for added power.

 

5. Swing forward. When you're a few feet from your partner, let loose with all your might. Snap your hand forward at maximum velocity, swinging your shoulder, leaning forward, and twisting slightly. If you hear a loud "crack" before your hand makes contact with your partner's, don't worry - this is your hand breaking the sound barrier. Aim square for the center of your partner's palm - he or she should do the same.

* If you're having trouble hitting your partner's hand, try focusing on his or her elbow as you swing. Seriously, try it - it works wonders.

 

6. Make contact. With luck, your palm should meet your partner's so that both are roughly vertical. The resulting sound should be a quick, sharp "smack" that may reverberate for a moment or two (depending on the acoustics of the room you're in). Revel in the satisfaction of a job well done.

* You'll know you've given a great high five if everyone around you immediately turns to stare with an annoyed expression on their face. Ignore these people - they are known as "haters" and are expressing their annoyance only as a way of masking certain deep-seated insecurities.

 

7 Celebrate with your partner by giving a hearty shout. Congratulations! You have just successfully given your friend the best high five possible. To increase the emotional resonance of your high five, shout out the words "Yeah!", "Yay!", or "Whoo!" with your partner. It's up to you!

Other good choices:

"Hell yeah!"

"Alright!"

"Cool!"

"Radical!"

"Right on!"

"Hip!"

"Woo Hoo!"

Now picture this terrible scenario, you’re casually sitting on a bench maybe eating lunch or just relaxing. However you realize that you’ve sat on this bench for some time now and that you’d like to leave. Unfortunately, worst has come to worst and a random stranger has decided to be very nice and sat next to you. Now according to the laws of being a good person. You are now obliged to not leave otherwise you may hurt the persons feelings. So what do you do? 

It’s nothing personal you’ve just sat on this bench for a while and want to leave. Now there are 2 outcomes in this scenario, either this stranger talks to you, or you both remain in complete silence. Now if you’re most people, neither scenario is very appealing. However you stand a better chance of leaving if the person decides to talk to you. No matter how awful the conversation may be, or how difficult it may be to come up with words to say. You are in the better zone. 

 

Scenario 1 you both talk.

There are a few ways to do this and all of those ways involve time. First of all check if they have a watch. If they do then great if they don’t then it’s ok. Because you have your phone. If neither of you have a watch or a phone then you’re unfortunately going to have to talk to that person for some time. Talk for a minimum of 5 minutes. And a maximum of 20. Any longer and your stuck in what’s known as a conversation. Once you’ve talked for long enough just explain how times are getting late blah blah got to get home before wife/ kid/sibling etc gets worried. They can’t really argue with you otherwise they will seem like a dick. However if you do have a phone or watch then just make it seem like you have somewhere to be in a rush. Now the very worst case scenario is if that persons says to you, “I get it, you don’t wanna talk to me” Then you better pray you don’t actually have plans because you now have to spend at least half an hour with that person before you can leave

 

Scenario 2 You both keep silent.

This scenario is a little tricky to get out of but in order to leave you have to simultaneously get the attention of the person while pretending they aren’t there. So let’s say you have a phone, check your phone. Kiss your teeth and go ahh to make it seem like you need to go somewhere. If you don’t have a phone it’s still ok. Wait on the bench for a few minutes and then raise your hand and wave aiming in their viewpoint so they can see you are raising your hand and as soon as they turn their head to see who your waiving at quickly stand up and walk over in that direction and keep walking for ages until that person is no longer able to see you. If they follow you then just run. But try not to make it seem as if you’re running from them. However if there’s no one in the park then just wait for about 5 minutes and then slowly get up and leave. Maybe try look like your tired or something. 

 

1)     The first thing you want to do is make sure you have tissues ready to use because, the last thing you want to do is use you hand or your sleeve. Also preferably use the soft tissues and not school blue paper towels unless you want carpet burn on your nose.

 

2)     The easiest way to enclose the sound to make sure other people around you can’t hear you blowing your brains out is by removing yourself from the area you could do this by asking if your allowed to go to the toilet or if not you can walk out when no ones looking although, if someone points out how you’re leaving this could draw more attention to the situation.

 

3)     If leaving the class is not an option try to distance yourself in terms of where you’re sitting so you could sit near the back or a little corner in your classroom or whichever part of your class is the most isolated area.

 

4)     However, if there are no distant seats available on a particular day where your nose is extra itchy, then don’t blow your nose when the class is awkwardly quite or if someone is giving an important announcement, because that just defeats the whole point of trying to compress the sound of blowing your nose so do it when people around you begin to talk so that they are less focused on what you’re doing and so that the sound is not as raucous.

 

5)     Lastly, wash your hands don’t go around spreading your nose particles everywhere just wash your hands with soap and water or if not available then some hand sanitiser which you should be carrying around anyway. Then you will finally be complete with your nose blowing journey.

- You’ve got to take on your own style and stance. Eden Hazard and Bruno Fernandez have got what it takes to put the ball inside the net when taking penalties. They either have a look at the keeper, understand where’s he’s going and place it in another area or they have a preselected place that they know the can put the ball away in. On the contrary, the guys that maybe sky rocket the ball into Row Z or shoot the ball with minimal power like that of an ant have let the nerves get the best of them, or have simply just failed their technique which can be very costly. In order to avoid doing so, you need to trust your technique and have a very good mental game.

So, you have a problem. When you see someone on the road trip and fall, instead of helping them up, you end up bursting out with laughter, even though you know it’s wrong and now, you want to prevent this. If you want to stop laughing at your friend when they fall then this will not help you. If your friend that has fallen over then it’s okay to laugh, and check on them at the same time. If they were a true friend, when you laugh at the situation, they will laugh with you, if they don’t and just glare at you then I don’t know what to say… are you hanging out with the right people. Plus, they say that laughter is they only thing that can cure any injury. However, if you want to stop laughing at a complete stranger, then you have come to the right place. These steps will guide you on how to act as a better citizen instead of a rude child.

1.      Take deep breaths – when you see and hardworking woman on her way to work, trip and fall flat on her face, with her papers flying up in the air, don’t laugh, walk up to her looking like your concerned but walk slowly in order to count 10 breaths in and out before you get to her so that by the time you reach the woman to help, you laugh should have died down enough to hold it in so that you don’t come across as mean.

2.      Immediately clear your thoughts – this works better when you need to hurry and help in the situation. An old woman is crossing the road and trips and falls. Not only is it dangerous because she is in the middle of the road, but also because she is old, she may have broken a bone and be seriously injured. In a case like this, you need to clear your thoughts. Its not as hard as it sounds, just think of something else. The easiest is to think of something that makes you sad, but if you don’t want to be sad, then the next best thing is thinking about a dream, or someone you love. They are easy things to think about and easy distractions, however try not to think about it for too long as you need to hurry and see if the woman is okay.

3.      Pinch yourself – you know when someone thinks there in a dream, so they pinch themselves to wake up, its kind of similar. So, when a little kid is running after their older brother and the trip and fall and start crying. The older brother is far ahead and the parent is far behind you, then, again, it’s best to act fast. You need to pinch yourself or slap your hands against you face so that you will feel the pain before the laughter and end up being able to help with little kid and wait with them before their parent arrives.

4.      Imagine your them – imagine you are them, that you trip and fall and in pain and then all of a sudden you hear someone laugh at you. Its not a nice feeling, you will feel embarrassed and maybe even want to cry. You’ll probably end up also hating that person for laughing, thinking that they are not a kind person at all. Just think about that when someone falls in front of you. This is my least reliable point, but, does work over time.

Cricket. The game attracting the poshest spectators and extremely patient players. It’s a fairly complicated game to understand and not much is really going on very often, but once you begin to understand it, it becomes a little less boring. Not by much though. I’ve played since I was 4 and I’ve been watching since I was 6. Growing up, I developed the understanding that cricket is only fun when you’re better than everyone else on the field. Like I said earlier, the concept and the scoring system takes a lot of brain power, in fact, there’s still stuff going on that I’m not even close to getting my head around. The general idea is easy to understand if you aren’t thinking tactically: bowlers take as many wickets as possible and batsman score as many runs (points) as possible. 

I myself am a bowler. Batting has never really come to me. Even though it looks somewhat simple (and in reality, it really is) each ball you face feels like a whole geography exam. The things you have to remember is almost excessive. Though it’s not my strong point, I’ll do my best at describing what happens and the essential phases in the process.

1.       Disconnect. Between each ball, you have roughly 1 minute until the next one is bowled. It’s vital that you take advantage of this time just so you can clear your mind. The keeper behind the stumps will probably try to talk to you about something stupid like bum cream or Tesco meal deals. Ignore him. You might see a fat bastard on the boundary pulling the old scratch and sniff downstairs. Ignore him. You may see your mate throwing up wanker signs at you. Especially ignore him. What you’re going to do is look at a nice tree or a bird or essentially anything that has nothing to do with your game. You’ll think about what could be for dinner tonight or think about a holiday you went on recently or even the monster poo you did the night before. Whatever helps you escape. Don’t be too long though, you only have a minute.

2.       Analysis. The bowler is now back at his mark. There’s a lot less pressure on him. All he has to do is throw a ball near you but be aware the chances are very high that he wants to throw it at you instead which is perfectly legal. You just have to look at the pitch and see if there is any excess fox poo or vomit or something on the pitch that might change the movement of the ball. If the pitch is clear, you’re all good. Not clear, suck it up buster. At least if you get out, you have an excuse.

3.       The lost phase. Unfortunately, this one is inevitable. It’s a very short phases but it’s absolutely horrible and long it takes you to overcome it can determine the result of the oncoming ball. In this phase, you feel like you’re going shart yourself 4 times over. No one knows why it happens, but you just forget everything. You forget your name, your age, the time you took that monster poo, everything. Like I said earlier though, you must overcome 

this as soon as possible.

 

4.       Watch the ball. This is the most vital process of them all. It’s the first one you learn and from here onwards it stands for the rest of the steps. For some idiotic reason, a lot of the bowlers like to take these unnecessarily long run ups. I think the idea is to frighten the batsman, but I just find it hilarious because a lot of them are so unfit that they’re exhausted by the time they’re done, giving you a free shot. Never anticipate a free shot but also, don’t get frightened by the long run up. Because he’s halfway to Sao Paolo, it may take some time before you can see the ball. Once you can see, lock your eyes on it like your life depends on it.

5.       The hands. If you’ve done step 4 correctly, this one is fairly straight forward, so much so that it’s almost automatic. All that’s going to happen is the bowler will try to bowl with all the power in god’s green earth and you’ll just move your hands towards it with the bat in the most suitable way possible. Normally, people play it with soft hands but if you’re feeling confident, you smash that sucker to Neptune. If everything’s gone right and you put or the power you have into this ball, you might just hit the opposing captain’s car and start a fun little argument.

 

6.       The sigh of relief. You’ve done it. Hopefully you’ve survived and now you can through that process all over again for the next ball.
