Our Culture Rightly Admires Risk-takers,

Persistence Isn't Very Glamorous. If Genius Is One Percent Inspiration And Ninety-nine Percent Perspiration, Then As A Culture We Tend To Lionize The One Percent. We Love Its Flash And Dazzle. But Great Power Lies In The Other Ninety-nine Percent.

.. It Makes Sense That Introverts Are Uniquely Good At Leading Intiative-takers. Because Of Their Inclination To Listen To Others And Lack Of Interest In Dominating Social Situations, Introverts Are More Likely To Hear And Implement Suggestions. Having Benefited From The Talents Of Their Followers, They Are Then Likely To Motivate Them To Be Even More Proactive. Introverted Leaders Create A Virtious Circle Of Proactivity.

It's As If They Have Thinner Boundaries Separating Them From Other People's Emotions And From The Tragedies And Cruelties Of The World.

...i Also Believe That Introversion Is My Greatest Strength. I Have Such A Strong Inner Life That I’m Never Bored And Only Occasionally Lonely. No Matter What Mayhem Is Happening Around Me, I Know I Can Always Turn Inward.

Being Relatively Unmoved By Rewards Gives You The Incalculable Power To Go Your Own Way.
