Quote by Susan Cain

“Indeed, your biggest challenge may be to fully harness your strengths. You may be so busy trying to appear like a zestful, reward-sensitive extrovert that you undervalue your own talents, or feel underestimated by those around you. But when you’re focused on a project that you care about, you probably find that your energy is boundless.”

The trick for introverts is to honor their own styles instead of allowing themselves to be swept up by prevailing norms.”
