Every American Was To Become A Performing

Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Gandhi — All These Peopled Described Themselves As Quiet And Soft-spoken And Even Shy. And They All Took The Spotlight, Even Though Every Bone In Their Bodies Was Telling Them Not To.

There Is No One More Courageous Than The Person Who Speaks With The Courage Of His Convictions.

Shyness Is The Fear Of Social Disapproval Or Humiliation, While Introversion Is A Preference For Environments That Are Not Overstimulating. Shyness Is Inherently Painful; Introversion Is Not.

Introverts, In Contrast, May Have Strong Social Skills And Enjoy Parties And Business Meetings, But After A While Wish They Were Home In Their Pajamas. They Prefer To Devote Their Social Energies To Close Friends, Colleagues, And Family. They Listen More Than They Talk, Think Before They Speak, And Often Feel As If They Express Themselves Better In Writing Than In Conversation. They Tend To Dislike Conflict. Many Have A Horror Of Small Talk, But Enjoy Deep Discussions.

Love Is Essential, Gregariousness Is Optional.
