How many other things are like this? What abilities do I have that are rare, that I take for granted and think everyone else has them? What abilities am I completely ignorant of because I don't have them? I think this is a source of great misunderstandings because we think others think like we do. Something that is obvious to us is obvious to them. But that is not the case.
I used to get a lot of push-back about ideas at work in ways that confused me. I have started to develop a habit of stating the obvious, what I think doesn't need to be said and I usually would leave unsaid. It has been surprising to me how often the things I was skipping over are viewed as novel ideas.
