In this TEDx presentation, Manuel Messias addresses the importance of communication and linguistic precision in everyday life, reflecting on how the words we choose influence our thinking and the way we are perceived by others. The speaker compares the impact of precise vocabulary when formulating prompts for artificial intelligence, where including specific details can produce significantly better results, to show how clarity is equally essential in human communication. Messias also draws on cognitive science studies to explain how using a second language can influence decision-making and how clarity and precision in communication affect perceptions of intelligence, confidence, and credibility. Messias invites the audience to continually develop their language skills through reading, writing, and public speaking, highlighting these practices as ways to expand vocabulary, organize ideas more clearly, overcome shyness, and receive feedback. He reminds us that the words we know and the way we use them not only influence our opportunities and our understanding of the world, but also shape how others perceive us.
