Reminder to everyone that 'your best doesn't mean pushing yourself to your breaking point. 'Your best' means the best you can do while being the best you. Get enough sleep, give yourself breaks, listen to your limits. 'Your best' is better when you're happy and healthy.

I agree with you. Sometimes an unfamiliar word will be the right one – but generally it's better to use words our readers will understand.

I disagree. If readers don't understand your words, you risk losing them.
