Suspect that the one you are talking to may be smarter than you are

Suspect that the one you are talking to may be smarter than you are. Always assume the person to whom you are talking is smarter than you are, or has access to more resources, or both. This is a good rule of thumb for eve3ry interaction and guarantees you won’t start the conversation by underestimating or demeaning others. Even if it is not true you might learn something that you didn’t know that will help you make better decisions.
