It says so in the book...

Currently I'm reading a book on introverts. Yup, I'm reading about myself. It's very interesting in a sense that most people are introverts and they don't know it. Well, not to mention that there's an introvert for every 3 that are extroverts. So yeah, we're a rare breed.

I found myself nodding nearly on every information as I realised that I always behave in the ways of introverts. Don't get me wrong, being an introverts is not bad nor is it good but let's just say that we're living in a world where extroverts are championed and being an introvert kinda hinders the progress thing.

Well, as I found myself deeply rooted to the book, I found invaluable unexpected facts about how being either an intro- or extro-vert is a physiology thing; it's not something that can be changed. Work with it, not against it.

It has always amazed me, amongst other things, that I'm inclined towards psychology and all that emotional stuff. Human behaviours are really puzzling at times. But with knowledge, knowing that it's more than just physical appearance but also chemical changes, I feel confident in tackling people.

Well, maybe I've talked enough about this. But the key to understanding others is to understand yourself first. Knowing your weaknesses and building up your strengths are mandatory in this fast-paced society. Take a stroll once in a while, grab a book and spend hours reading on it, contemplate on pleasant memories or just go for a swim, do whatever it takes to find your resting energy level to recuperate and recharge.

she would have given us two mouths and one ear. - Anonymous
