I am an introvert.
And, like my fellow introverts, I am sorely misunderstood.
Common wisdom says that America is a nation of extroverts and here, introversion is stigmatized. Parents worry about children who would rather play alone in their rooms than join the gang in the playground. Bookish teenagers are exhorted to break out of their shells. Adults are chastised if they would rather work alone than as team players.
I'm not shy, socially awkward or in any way (that I know of) socially inept. I don't hate people, I'm not unfriendly, I'm not stuck up, and I am perfectly capable of carrying on a conversation. I can even speak in public and do so fairly often. To meet me, you might think I'm extroverted.
But the difference between extroverts and introverts is not that the former are good at socializing and the latter aren't. It's that extroverts are outwardly focused and draw energy from social interactions while introverts are inwardly focused and drained by interactions.
That describes me perfectly. But a lot of people don't understand this.
I have been shamed many times for my loathing for the telephone (not uncommon for introverts), for my reliance on online interaction (ditto), and for my desire to leave parties shortly after arriving.
We introverts often try to push against our nature, having bought into the myth that extroversion is better and that it's the American way. But neither introversion nor extroversion are the "right" way to be. They're just different. And here in this blog, we are going to bust through extroversionbias. We will embrace our our introversion, celebrate it, learn more about it, and share strategies for living fulfilled, happy lives as introverts.
Because, fellow introverts, it's time we stop pretending and apologizing, Sure, we can present an extroverted face to the world when necessary, but it takes a toll on us in private. And I say it's time to embrace our nature and start defending our case.
How to Master the Art of Selling - Chapter 1 Book Summary
I can make selling the highest-paid hard work or the lowest-paid easy work.
Only thing that matters is what i do for myself and what i give to myself.
One reason to love selling is the freedom of expression.
Second advantage is that you have the freedom to become as successful as you like.
Third advantage is a daily challenge, where you get to challenge yourself to improve. Let that fact refresh you, not weary you.
Everyday is an adventure.
Sales is satisfying n fun.
The better you are at sales, the more you benefit others.
No one limits my growth but me.
Do not believe in the myth that successful sales people are natural born sales wonders.
Everything about selling is learned
The more you're interested in a subject, the more easily you remember details about it
Effective repetition means you cut the material apart and sew it back together to fit you.
For any kind of learning to have meaning, it must not only be capable of utilisation, it must be used. Unused learning is fertiliser left in the sack.
Most important thing is to have the desire.
Do not doubt your own abilities. One might think that a salesperson is born to be one, but everything about sales is learned. Anyone can be successful as long as he/she desires to be. No one can stop or prevent you from succeeding in sales except for yourself. You are what you think you are. Think positively, think good things about yourself, repeat the good things that you've done, do good for others and think about things from their perspective. Success will come when you truly want to help others, as well as to help yourself. Discipline, determination, integrity, LOVE.
You know it makes sense!

When was the last time I blogged?!? Been years... long long time counting. Don't ask me why I havn't been blogging, but it just seems as if its not really fun to me anymore. However, today I feel like just writing something random. Just a short one... to remind myself that I'm always full of surprises for my beloved one... Adela! haha.
its her birthday in 2 days time... and i bet she wont be reading this blog before her birthday, since i havnt updated it for so long. so it wouldnt matter even if i were to write down the small little surprise i have in store for her.
Finished work early today, and went down to taka to order a cake so that I can celebrate it with her and her colleagues on Monday 26/10/09. Funny thing is that initially I told her i was supposed to be on leave on that day, but now had to cancel it cos of some other issues @ work. and of cos, she believed me... (well, if she didn't then there'd be no surprise... haha, so well...) So, I'm actually on leave of course. And planning to surprise her @ 17.30hrs on monday at her office with the cake. Thanks Tania, for helping to coordinate this little surprise. Not one of my major surprises for her in comparison to those in the past, but well... having one is better than none right?!?
Actually i realise that my writing is getting from bad to worse. It sounds so boring to be honest, compared to the many blogs out there. If i were reading this, I'd actually think this is a dumb blog. I'd really very much prefer to do a blog of pictures instead of words. Then at least I wont have to think about what to write - which is an ability I'm obviously not blessed with in comparison to others. Maybe I shall write something else on another day when I'm more in the mood... but for now, let me leave you with just another picture of another day in my life...
