“As an introvert, you can be your own best friend or your worst enemy. The good news is we generally like our own company, a quality that extroverts often envy. We find comfort in solitude and know how to soothe ourselves. Even our willingness to look at ourselves critically is often helpful.But, we can go too far. We can hoard responsibility and overlook the role others play. We can kick ourselves when we're down. How many times have you felt lousy about something, only to get mad at yourself for feeling lousy?” KnowsLooksPlayFeelingsFeltQualityResponsibilityCompanyEnemyRolesKnow HowWorstComfortSolitudeNewsMadEnvyKicksHelpfulWillingnessIntrovertGood NewsWorst EnemyExtroverts Author:Laurie Helgoe
“I'm a pastor of a local church. I'm not a televangelist. I've never had a televised program. I'm a pastor.

And many of them relished it.” WarEndsHomeRealityEffortRolesVirtuePiecesMilitaryMaterialsComfortFemaleCharityTraditionalRadicalShirtsContributionSpheresAcceptablePatriotNurtureExtensionsCivicsBannerBritish HistoryWedgesFlannelsNeedlework Author:Linda Colley

“My role models are people who can do things; I say to myself, "I wish I could do that." Like women who endure hardships and turn their luck around and bring up children on their own and start a business.
