Speak English
How many times have we experienced boredom in a conversation because the other party had been talking gibberish? Yeah you can equate out e=mc2, but who cares?
I know i speak for myself a lot when i blog about this because i've this tendency to go on an overdrive to explain things a little too much. Who cares? Me?

Question: Your principles sound pretty basic. If these six principles were all it took to make a sticky idea, why aren’t there more brilliant ideas in the world?
Answer: Basic, yes, but not natural. That’s an important distinction. People tend to think that having a great idea is enough, and they think the communication part will come naturally. We are in deep denial about the difficulty of getting a thought out of our own heads and into the heads of others. It’s just not true that, “If you think it, it will stick.”
And that brings us to the villain of our book: The Curse of Knowledge. Lots of research in economics and psychology shows that when we know something, it becomes hard for us to imagine not knowing it. As a result, we become lousy communicators. Think of a lawyer who can’t give you a straight, comprehensible answer to a legal question. His vast knowledge and experience renders him unable to fathom how little you know. So when he talks to you, he talks in abstractions that you can’t follow. And we’re all like the lawyer in our own domain of expertise.
Here’s the great cruelty of the Curse of Knowledge: The better we get at generating great ideas—new insights and novel solutions—in our field of expertise, the more unnatural it becomes for us to communicate those ideas clearly. That’s why knowledge is a curse. But notice we said “unnatural,” not “impossible.” Experts just need to devote a little time to applying the basic principles of stickiness.

Overvaluing your wisdom. Just because you understand the intricacies of the global currency market doesn't mean you should share them. Unless there's a point to your pontification—you're a doctor, someone has symptoms—give it a rest.

This disease is most often most often genetically linked with the male gender because some if not most have an inferiority complex and the need to show their "bigger clubs" as a sign of superiority to extend territory, attract the opposite sex, ect.. Yeah we live in the InfoTech age so.....

I too have this inferiority complex and am compelled by some unknown force to insinuatingly speak gibberish.
And yeah by worldly definition the aura of each man is reflected through his ability in carrying around his super-sized Confidence/Ego.
And i've lost it, does that make me any lesser of man than i already am? I don't think so!
My confidence is placed in God and it doesn't effect my ability to carry myself or tasks in any less of a manner.To be honest when you think dirt of yourself the only things you can't do right are the things you place your confidence in.
So that makes me a nitwit when it comes to doing things out of my own will(selfish desires). Hilarious... A thoroughly humiliating, fulfilling process.
And so i deviated from the topic and spoke more about myself. =p
So i've added 2 more words for the new year! Care & Concern.
Au revoir Et Dieu Bénissez-Vous.
The little things you do each day,
I take to heart, recall & pray,
That i may one day live a life,
That's made of the little things i've done each day.
Blowing myself away from my past,
Looking back not forgetting what,
I lose myself to fulfill His will,
And die today so that i might live tomorrow.
