My job as a communications consultant is often the translation of technical terminology into laymen's terms. Unfortunately, I don't know something about everything. I'm a fairly well-read person but my degree is in English and Political Science, as well as Public Relations - nothing math or science-oriented.
The best tip I ever got was from a good friend of mine who is a CIO. I always thought that she knew something about everything, but she let me in on the secret that this is not the case. Whenever she doesn't know what something is, she nods her head like she does know, writes down the term and later on looks it up on Wikipedia. Since she gave me this tip, I use Wikipedia almost every day.
Wikipedia is not-for-profit, but it's the fifth most used website in the world. I made a donation today because I think it's amazing that they do so much with so little and quite honestly, I don't know what I would do without it. I hope you'll consider doing the same.
