Ugh, while I am getting better, I still take the bate on those “checks” from my wife.

I need more explanation of “minimizing” and “maximizing” to understand the concept.

Hey David, what isn't clicking for you with minimizing and maximizing?

I don't understand it based on how it was presented in the article. I could do my own research and also just ask ChatGPT. ;-)

Minimize is to represent or estimate at less than the true value or importance.

"You are making a bigger deal about this than is warranted."

Maximize is to make as large or great as possible.

"You are downplaying the seriousness or importance of this."

Boom! That clicks. Thank you, Michael!
