In fact, we have many similar experiences in our lives.

You think it's like this, but it's actually like that.

What you think is right is actually wrong.

Today, Yi Xiaobao will take you to discover the following:

What you think isn't necessarily what you think.

01

What you think: The only foreign language in the college entrance examination is English.

In fact, there are six subjects in total: English, Russian, Japanese, German, French, and Spanish. Students can choose freely when filling out their college application forms.

02

What you thought: Mosquitoes don't have teeth.

In fact, mosquitoes do have teeth, usually 22.

03

What you think: Blood transfusions between immediate family members are better than those between non-immediate family members.

In reality: Blood transfusions between immediate family members are prohibited. The scenes in TV dramas where parents donate blood to save their children are fictional! Modern medicine has proven that blood transfusions between immediate family members can sometimes cause a serious transfusion reaction called transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Although the incidence of this transfusion reaction is very low, the mortality rate is as high as 99.9%, and once it occurs, it is almost impossible to save the patient.

04

You might think: The small pockets on jeans are just for decoration.

Actually, it was originally designed to make it convenient to store a pocket watch.

05

What you think: You have to make your bed after getting up.

In reality: Folding the blankets leaves sweat inside and creates a breeding ground for pathogens, which is detrimental to health. Now you've found an excuse not to fold the blankets…

The correct method is to first turn the quilt over so that the inside of the quilt faces outwards, and then gently pat or toss the quilt to reduce moisture and dander residue.

06

You might think: Eyeglass cloths are for wiping eyeglasses.

In reality, it only protects the glasses from friction damage.

07

You might think that placing a cactus plant in front of your computer can prevent radiation.

In reality, no plant offers any protection against radiation, nor does any plant possess any radiation-protective capabilities.

08

You might think that raising your chin when you have a nosebleed can stop the bleeding.

In fact, raising the chin can cause nosebleeds to flow into the throat, leading to vomiting and suffocation.

The correct way is to stuff a small cotton ball into the bleeding nostril, gently press the nostrils, and tilt your head forward, or wrap a damp towel around your neck.

09

You might think: The longer your hair, the more nutrients it absorbs from your body.

In reality, once hair grows out, it is already a hardened, keratinized substance. It has no life, no blood vessels, no nerves, and does not absorb nutrients from the body.

10

You might think that breathing and swallowing happen simultaneously.

In fact, babies can breathe and swallow at the same time, but adults cannot.

If you're reading this, you're probably swallowing right now...

How about it?

Doesn't this overturn your understanding?

Just like that classic saying goes:

“I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me this.”

"I always thought the brain was the most perfect and amazing organ in my body, and then I realized who was telling me that."

Often, what we think is right...

It is very likely wrong.

Even the most rational viewpoint cannot be entirely correct.

The only one that can't be wrong.

It's about constantly reflecting and learning to improve our own understanding.

To avoid "having heard many道理 (principles/truths) but still not living a good life."
