If you're painting a wooden wall, place a sheet on the floor to catch any drips of paint. If you're painting a wooden cabinet or another item that you can move, place it on top of a sheet to ensure maximum protection for the surrounding area. Move any furniture away before you paint. If the furniture is too big to move, cover it with another sheet. Cover baseboards, hinges, and other items with painter's tape if you need to. Primer makes it easier for the paint to stick to the surface of the item you're painting. If you're painting a wooden wall and you have the paint you used for the rest of the wall when you originally painted it, you'll only need to prime the area you filled in with wood filler. If you want to paint the entire area of the wooden object, you'll need to prime it all. Use a roller to prime a wall and a paintbrush to prime smaller objects. Primer can dry within 2 hours of being applied to an item. However, if you paint the primer before it's dry, you'll ruin the item you're painting. By giving it 3 hours to fully dry, you allow for the primer to dry completely. Don't paint over the primer before it's completely dry. Primer can feel dry to the touch without being fully dry. Once the primer has completely dried, use a paintbrush or a roller to apply the first coat to the wood. Rollers will work best on walls and other flat surfaces. Paint other surfaces using a flat or tapered paintbrush. If you're only painting over the filler, use the same paint you painted the rest of the item with. If you can't find that paint, go to the local paint store and take paint strips. Hold these strips to the wood to find the right color of paint. Don't be afraid to use plenty of paint. It's better to apply too much paint to the item than too little. Make sure you brush the paint so it evenly covers the surface of the item. Use even and measured strokes like you used to apply the primer. You should give the paint time to properly dry into the wood. This will take 2 hours at the very least. Test if the paint is dry by dabbing it with a tissue. Inspect the tissue after for signs of paint. If there's no paint on the tissue, the paint is dry and you can apply the second coat. Consider leaving the paint dry overnight to ensure it's completely dry. After the first coat has fully dried, use even and measured strokes once more to apply the second coat. Once you finish applying the second coat, look at the wood and decide if it needs another coat. If the paint doesn't look right on the wood, it will probably need another coat. Give the second coat 2 to 3 hours to dry before painting the third coat.

There are some risks that are never worth it, like driving drunk or committing a crime. If there is substantial risk of injury or punishment and no true benefit, don't take the risk. Risks that pose unnecessary harm to other people are usually not worth it either. It is not your place to risk the safety of other people. Risky sports like skydiving may be the exception to this rule. For some, this may be a reasonable risk because the adrenaline rush and genuine enjoyment are a huge reward. For others, this may seem like a reckless risk. If you want to make smart choices, it's very important to understand how much risk a given activity involves, how significant the risk is, and what the potential benefits are. Carefully compare the possible consequences with the possible benefits in order to determine if a risk is worth it for you. Some risks may be worth it in certain situations, but not in others. For example, if you want to quit your job and move to a new city with no plan, the risks will be higher if the economy is bad and you have a lot of debt to pay off than they will if the economy is flourishing and you are debt-free. It helps to have as clear an understanding as possible of what could actually go wrong. If you can get some kind of objective data or talk to an expert about the potential outcome, do it. If not, take some time to think through the possible consequences carefully. Try assigning a number value to each risk and benefit. (The worse the risk or better the benefit, the higher the number.) This can help you compare the risks and benefits of a specific activity in a very logical way. For example, if you are contemplating a risky investment, assign a number to the possibility of losing your investment (maybe an 8) and one to the possibility of making a fortune (maybe a 10). Then compare these two to help you determine whether the risk is worth it. While taking risks is often a good thing, you should always make sure there is something in place to protect you from the worst case scenario. For example, if you want to start a business, your knowledge and experience can protect you from failure. If you want to swim with sharks, a cage can protect you from being eaten. In many cases, a financial safety net is a very good idea. Having a little cushion to protect you against losing your home and not being able to feed your family can make it much easier to take the risk of starting a business. It's important not to fixate on the worst possible scenario (because this can prevent you from taking any kind of risk), but it does pay to be prepared. Before you take a risk that has potentially serious consequences, plan out how you will handle the worst case scenario. For example, if you want to invest all of your savings into a new business, come up with a way that you will be able to pay your mortgage if the business fails, such as renting out a room in your house. If you are taking a risk by asking a stranger out on a date, decide in advance that you will say something like, "Okay, no problem. Have a nice day," if he says no. Whenever you take a risk, it's important to think of the way your decision may affect others. For example, if the thing you want to do carries a serious risk of injury or death, think about how this will affect your family when deciding if the risk is worth it. If your risk will have a serious impact on another person, it may be a good idea to talk to them about it. While it is ultimately your decision, it will help to know how the other person feels about it.

In the unlikely event that you have a Sony PSP, the steps are mostly the same, except, after connecting the cable from the PSP to the computer (and powering on the PSP) but before opening the device in Windows Explorer, you have to set the PSP to USB Connection mode. On the PSP, arrow left to Settings, arrow up to "USB Connection" and press X. Now the PSP is in USB Connection mode. Windows should mount the device as a removable disk, and you will be able to browse the folders stored on your memory stick.
