Indeed. I used to get upset that people at my workplace sometimes criticized me for using what they called “big words” and talking “over their heads.” While I never meant to do this, I took their comments to heart. Impact over intent.

I feel alive and energized when I’m in a discussion with people who are smarter than me, or who have different experiences and learning than I do. I’ve learned that those two qualifiers embrace almost everyone, if I listen well enough.
