TED演讲英文演讲稿：内向性格的力量_1

TED演讲英文演讲稿：内向性格的力量when i was nine years old i went off to summer camp for the first time. and my mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do. because in my family, reading was the primary group activity. and this might sound antisocial to you, but for us it was really just a different way of being social. you have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you, but you are also free to go roaming around the adventureland inside your own mind. and i had this idea that camp was going to be just like this, but better. (laughter) i had a vision of 10 girls sitting in a cabin cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns.(laughter)camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol. and on the very first day our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill camp spirit. and it went like this: "r-o-w-d-i-e, that's the way we spell rowdie. rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie." yeah. so i couldn't figure out for the life of me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this word incorrectly. (laughter) but irecited a cheer. i recited a cheer along with everybody else. i did my best. and i just waited for the time that i could go off and read my books.but the first time that i took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, "why are you being so mellow?" -- mellow, of course, being the exact opposite of r-o-w-d-i-e. and then the second time i tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.and so i put my books away, back in their suitcase, and i put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. and i felt kind of guilty about this. i felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me and i was forsaking them. but i did forsake them and i didn't open that suitcase again until i was back home with my family at the end of the summer.now, i tell you this story about summer camp. i could have told you 50 others just like it -- all the times that i got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go, that i should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert. and i always senseddeep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were. but for years i denied this intuition, and so i became a wall street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that i had always longed to be -- partly because i needed to prove to myself that i could be bold and assertive too. and i was always going off to crowded bars when i really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. and i made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that i wasn't even aware that i was making them.now this is what many introverts do, and it's our loss for sure, but it is also our colleagues' loss and our communities' loss. and at the risk of sounding grandiose, it is the world's loss. because when it comes to creativity and to leadership, we need introverts doing what they do best. a third to a half of the population are introverts -- a third to a half. so that's one out of every two or three people you know. so even if you're an extrovert yourself, i'm talking about your coworkers and your spouses and your children and the person sitting next to you right now -- all of them subject to this bias that is pretty deep and real in our society. we all internalize it from a very early age without even having a language for what we're doing.now to see the bias clearly you need to understand what introversion is. it's different from being shy. shyness is about fear of social judgment. introversion is more about, how do you respond to stimulation, including social stimulation. so extroverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most switched-on and their most capable when they're in quieter, more low-key environments. not all the time -- these things aren't absolute -- but a lot of the time. so the key then to maximizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves in the zone of stimulation that is right for us.but now here's where the bias comes in. our most important institutions, our schools and our workplaces, they are designed mostly for extroverts and for extroverts' need for lots of stimulation. and also we have this belief system right now that i call the new groupthink, which holds that all creativity and all productivity comes from a very oddly gregarious place.so if you picture the typical classroom nowadays: when i was going to school, we sat in rows. we sat in rows of desks like this, and we did most of our work pretty autonomously. but nowadays, your typical classroom has pods of desks --four or five or six or seven kids all facing each other. and kids are working in countless group assignments. even in subjects like math and creative writing, which you think would depend on solo flights of thought, kids are now expected to act as committee members. and for the kids who prefer to go off by themselves or just to work alone, those kids are seen as outliers often or, worse, as problem cases. and the vast majority of teachers reports believing that the ideal student is an extrovert as opposed to an introvert, even though introverts actually get better grades and are more knowledgeable, according to research. (laughter)okay, same thing is true in our workplaces. now, most of us work in open plan offices, without walls, where we are subject to the constant noise and gaze of our coworkers. and when it comes to leadership, introverts are routinely passed over for leadership positions, even though introverts tend to be very careful, much less likely to take outsize risks -- which is something we might all favor nowadays. and interesting research by adam grant at the wharton school has found that introverted leaders often deliver better outcomes than extroverts do, because when they are managing proactive employees, they're much more likely to let those employeesrun with their ideas, whereas an extrovert can, quite unwittingly, get so excited about things that they're putting their own stamp on things, and other people's ideas might not as easily then bubble up to the surface.now in fact, some of our transformative leaders in history have been introverts. i'll give you some examples. eleanor roosevelt, rosa parks, gandhi -- all these peopled described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy. and they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies was telling them not to. and this turns out to have a special power all its own, because people could feel that these leaders were at the helm, not because they enjoyed directing others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at; they were there because they had no choice, because they were driven to do what they thought was right.now i think at this point it's important for me to say that i actually love extroverts. i always like to say some of my best friends are extroverts, including my beloved husband. and we all fall at different points, of course, along the introvert/extrovert spectrum. even carl jung, the psychologist who first popularized these terms, said that there's no such thing as a pure introvert or a pure extrovert. he said that sucha man would be in a lunatic asylum, if he existed at all. and some people fall smack in the middle of the introvert/extrovert spectrum, and we call these people ambiverts. and i often think that they have the best of all worlds. but many of us do recognize ourselves as one type or the other.and what i'm saying is that culturally we need a much better balance. we need more of a yin and yang between these two types. this is especially important when it comes to creativity and to productivity, because when psychologists look at the lives of the most creative people, what they find are people who are very good at exchanging ideas and advancing ideas, but who also have a serious streak of introversion in them.and this is because solitude is a crucial ingredient often to creativity. so darwin, he took long walks alone in the woods and emphatically turned down dinner party invitations. theodor geisel, better known as dr. seuss, he dreamed up many of his amazing creations in a lonely bell tower office that he had in the back of his house in la jolla, california. and he was actually afraid to meet the young children who read his books for fear that they were expecting him this kind of jollysanta claus-like figure and would be disappointed with his more reserved persona. steve wozniak invented the first apple computer sitting alone in his cubical in hewlett-packard where he was working at the time. and he says that he never would have become such an expert in the first place had he not been too introverted to leave the house when he was growing up.now of course, this does not mean that we should all stop collaborating -- and case in point, is steve wozniak famously coming together with steve jobs to start apple computer -- but it does mean that solitude matters and that for some people it is the air that they breathe. and in fact, we have known for centuries about the transcendent power of solitude. it's only recently that we've strangely begun to forget it. if you look at most of the world's major religions, you will find seekers -- moses, jesus, buddha, muhammad -- seekers who are going off by themselves alone to the wilderness where they then have profound epiphanies and revelations that they then bring back to the rest of the community. so no wilderness, no revelations.this is no surprise though if you look at the insights of contemporary psychology. it turns out that we can't even be in a group of people without instinctively mirroring, mimickingtheir opinions. even about seemingly personal and visceral things like who you're attracted to, you will start aping the beliefs of the people around you without even realizing that that's what you're doing.and groups famously follow the opinions of the most dominant or charismatic person in the room, even though there's zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas -- i mean zero. so ... (laughter) you might be following the person with the best ideas, but you might not. and do you really want to leave it up to chance? much better for everybody to go off by themselves, generate their own ideas freed from the distortions of group dynamics, and then come together as a team to talk them through in a well-managed environment and take it from there.now if all this is true, then why are we getting it so wrong? why are we setting up our schools this way and our workplaces? and why are we making these introverts feel so guilty about wanting to just go off by themselves some of the time? one answer lies deep in our cultural history. western societies, and in particular the u.s., have always favored the man of action over the man of contemplation and "man" of contemplation. but in america's early days, we lived in what historians call aculture of character, where we still, at that point, valued people for their inner selves and their moral rectitude. and if you look at the self-help books from this era, they all had titles with things like "character, the grandest thing in the world." and they featured role models like abraham lincoln who was praised for being modest and unassuming. ralph waldo emerson called him "a man who does not offend by superiority."but then we hit the 20th century and we entered a new culture that historians call the culture of personality. what happened is we had evolved an agricultural economy to a world of big business. and so suddenly people are moving from small towns to the cities. and instead of working alongside people they've known all their lives, now they are having to prove themselves in a crowd of strangers. so, quite understandably, qualities like magnetism and charisma suddenly come to seem really important. and sure enough, the self-help books change to meet these new needs and they start to have names like "how to win friends and influence people." and they feature as their role models really great salesmen. so that's the world we're living in today. that's our cultural inheritance.now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant, and i'm also not calling for the abolishing of teamwork at all. the same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust. and the problems that we are facing today in fields like science and in economics are so vast and so complex that we are going to need armies of people coming together to solve them working together. but i am saying that the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up with their own unique solutions to these problems.so now i'd like to share with you what's in my suitcase today. guess what? books. i have a suitcase full of books. here's margaret atwood, "cat's eye." here's a novel by milan kundera. and here's "the guide for the perplexed" by maimonides. but these are not exactly my books. i brought these books with me because they were written by my grandfather's favorite authors.my grandfather was a rabbi and he was a widower who lived alone in a small apartment in brooklyn that was my favorite place in the world when i was growing up, partly because it was filled with his very gentle, very courtly presence and partly because it was filled with books. i mean literallyevery table, every chair in this apartment had yielded its original function to now serve as a surface for swaying stacks of books. just like the rest of my family, my grandfather's favorite thing to do in the whole world was to read.but he also loved his congregation, and you could feel this love in the sermons that he gave every week for the 62 years that he was a rabbi. he would takes the fruits of each week's reading and he would weave these intricate tapestries of ancient and humanist thought. and people would come from all over to hear him speak.but here's the thing about my grandfather. underneath this ceremonial role, he was really modest and really introverted -- so much so that when he delivered these sermons, he had trouble making eye contact with the very same congregation that he had been speaking to for 62 years. and even away from the podium, when you called him to say hello, he would often end the conversation prematurely for fear that he was taking up too much of your time. but when he died at the age of 94, the police had to close down the streets of his neighborhood to accommodate the crowd of people who came out to mourn him. and so these days i try to learn from my grandfather's example in my own way.so i just published a book about introversion, and it took me about seven years to write. and for me, that seven years was like total bliss, because i was reading, i was writing, i was thinking, i was researching. it was my version of my grandfather's hours of the day alone in his library. but now all of a sudden my job is very different, and my job is to be out here talking about it, talking about introversion. (laughter) and that's a lot harder for me, because as honored as i am to be here with all of you right now, this is not my natural milieu.so i prepared for moments like these as best i could. i spent the last year practicing public speaking every chance i could get. and i call this my "year of speaking dangerously." (laughter) and that actually helped a lot. but i'll tell you, what helps even more is my sense, my belief, my hope that when it comes to our attitudes to introversion and to quiet and to solitude, we truly are poised on the brink on dramatic change.i mean, we are. and so i am going to leave you now with three calls for action for those who share this vision.number one: stop the madness for constant group work. just stop it. (laughter) thank you. (applause) and i want to be clear about what i'm saying, because i deeply believe our offices should be encouraging casual, chatty cafe-style typesof interactions -- you know, the kind where people come together and serendipitously have an exchange of ideas. that is great. it's great for introverts and it's great for extroverts. but we need much more privacy and much more freedom and much more autonomy at work. school, same thing. we need to be teaching kids to work together, for sure, but we also need to be teaching them how to work on their own. this is especially important for extroverted children too. they need to work on their own because that is where deep thought comes from in part.okay, number two: go to the wilderness. be like buddha, have your own revelations. i'm not saying that we all have to now go off and build our own cabins in the woods and never talk to each other again, but i am saying that we could all stand to unplug and get inside our own heads a little more often.number three: take a good look at what's inside your own suitcase and why you put it there. so extroverts, maybe your suitcases are also full of books. or maybe they're full of champagne glasses or skydiving equipment. whatever it is, i hope you take these things out every chance you get and grace us with your energy and your joy. but introverts, youbeing you, you probably have the impulse to guard very carefully what's inside your own suitcase. and that's okay. but occasionally, just occasionally, i hope you will open up your suitcases for other people to see, because the world needs you and it needs the things you carry.so i wish you the best of all possible journeys and the courage to speak softly.thank you very much.(applause)thank you. thank you.。

内向的力量英文演讲稿初中

内向的力量英文演讲稿初中The Power of IntroversionGood morning everyone,Today, I would like to talk about the power of introversion. We often live in a world that celebrates extroversion and sees introversion as a weakness. However, it is important to recognize that introversion is a valuable quality that brings unique strengths and abilities.Introverts are often great listeners. They have the ability to truly hear what others are saying and understand their perspectives. This skill is essential in building strong relationships and fostering effective communication. By taking the time to listen, introverts can gain a deeper understanding of others and cultivate empathy and compassion.Additionally, introverts are often independent and self-motivated. They need time alone to reflect, recharge, and process their thoughts. This ability to self-reflect and introspect helps introverts gain a greater understanding of themselves and their goals. They can focus their energy on personal growth and self-improvement, leading to a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment.Moreover, introverts are often thoughtful and detail-oriented. They take the time to analyze and consider all aspects before making decisions or taking action. Their attention to detail can lead to more accurate and thoughtful results. It is often introverts who come up with innovative solutions and creative ideas, as they have a natural ability to think deeply and critically.Furthermore, introverts often excel in one-on-one interactions. They have the ability to connect deeply with others on a personal level. Their authenticity and genuine interest in others create a safe and comfortable space for open and meaningful conversations. Introverts can provide a sense of calm and support for those around them.In conclusion, introversion should not be seen as a weakness, but rather as a strength. The power of introversion lies in its ability to listen, reflect, analyze, and connect deeply with others. By embracing the strengths of introversion, we can create a world that values both extroversion and introversion, celebrating the unique qualities each brings to the table.Thank you for listening.。

TED英文演讲稿：内向性格的力量Title: The Power of Introvert PersonalityIntroduction:Ladies and gentlemen,Today I stand before you to shed light upon a topic often overlooked in our fast-paced, extrovert-dominated society - the power of introvert personality. While extroverts may seem to grab all the attention, there is an immense strength that lieswithin the introverted individuals among us.Body:1. Introverts are great listeners:One of the most valuable traits of introverts is their ability to listen attentively. Unlike extroverts who thrive on being in the spotlight, introverts tend to observe and soak in information before expressing their thoughts. This quality makes them excellent listeners, enabling them to understand others' needs and perspectives deeply. Their careful consideration and empathetic listening can make a significant impact when it comes to problem-solving and conflict resolution.2. Independent and reflective thinkers:Introverts are known for their reflective nature. They often spend time alone, engaging in deep introspection and thought. This process allows their minds to wander, explore, and reach profound insights. Unlike extroverts who thrive on external stimulation, introverts recharge and gain energy from their inner world. This independence of thought equips introverts with an amazing ability to come up with unique and creative solutions.3. Focused and Detail-oriented:Introverts have the incredible capacity to focus deeply on a task for an extended period. They possess the ability to block out distractions and delve into a subject matter, analyzing it meticulously. This attention to detail is a valuable asset, especially in fields that require deep analysis and critical thinking. Their thorough and deliberate approach often leads to high-quality work and innovative ideas.4. The power of one-on-one connections:While extroverts excel in large group settings, introverts thrive in intimate one-on-one interactions. They value deep and meaningful connections and are excellent at building genuine relationships. Their ability to empathize and connect deeply with others creates a sense of trust and reliability. These genuine connections often lead to long-lasting relationships and profound impact on others' lives.Conclusion:In conclusion, it is crucial for us to recognize and appreciate the power of introvert personality. Introverts possess unique strengths that can contribute to the success of individuals, teams, and society as a whole. By creating an inclusive environment that values and embraces both introverted and extroverted individuals, we can create a harmonious balance and harness the full potential of our diverse talents.So, let us celebrate introverts and their remarkable abilities. Let us encourage their voice to be heard and create space for their contributions. Because, in doing so, we empower not only the introverts but also the world we live in.Thank you.。

内向性格的力量英文演讲稿范文

内向性格的力量英文演讲稿范文Ladies and gentlemen,Good evening. Today, I want to talk about the power of introverted personality traits.First of all, let me clarify what introverted means. Introverted individuals tend to be more reserved and introspective. They feel comfortable in quiet and reflective environments, and they prefer to avoid or limit social interactions. Despite the common misconception that introverted people are shy or antisocial, introversion is not a flaw, but rather a unique trait that holds many advantages.One of the most significant strengths of introverted people is their ability to think deeply. They have the tendency to analyze and ponder different perspectives on a given topic, which allows them to come up with innovative solutions. Introverts are less impulsive and more thoughtful when making decisions, which often leads to better outcomes in both personal and professional situations. Additionally, introverts are excellent at spotting and solving problems before they become bigger issues. They have the ability to identify patterns and tendencies that may be overlooked by others, making them great problem solvers.Another advantage of introverted people is their capacity for self-reflection and introspection. They take the time to process their emotions and thoughts, which makes them more aware of their own strengths and weaknesses. This self-awareness allows them to grow and develop as individuals. It also enables them to empathizewith others, as they have experienced their own struggles and emotions.Introverts are also known for their ability to focus deeply on tasks at hand. They have the ability to immerse themselves in their work or interests, which often leads to greater creativity and productivity. Unlike extroverts, who may feel energized by external stimuli, introverts find their energy from within. This allows them to be more self-sufficient and rely less on external validation or support.Finally, introverted individuals tend to have a small group of close friends, but they are known for their loyalty and depth of connection. They are great listeners and are often relied on for their advice and support. By investing time and energy into fewer relationships, they are able to nurture deeper connections that are more meaningful and fulfilling.In conclusion, introverts have a unique set of strengths and advantages that should be celebrated and embraced. Their ability to think deeply, self-reflect, focus intently and build deep connections sets them apart as valuable and essential members of society. So, let us appreciate and encourage these introverted traits and recognize their importance to the world. Thank you.。

如何释放内向性格的力量：TED英语演讲稿

如何释放内向性格的力量：TED英语演讲稿How to Harness the Power of Introverted Personality: TED SpeechGood afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Today I want totalk to you about how to harness the power of introverted personality traits, and why doing so can be crucial for your personal and professional success.Now, before we dive into the specifics, let's take a moment to define what we mean by "introverted." Many people associate introversion with shyness or social anxiety, but in reality, introversion is simply a personality trait that describes someone who draws their energy from their inner world rather than external stimulation. Introverts tend to prefer quiet, contemplative activities over loud, high-energy environments, and they often need time and space alone to recharge their batteries.So, why is it important to harness the power of introverted traits? For starters, introversion is far more common than many people realize. In fact, introverts make up an estimated 30-50% of the population, meaning that there aremillions of people out there who share these traits. Furthermore, research has shown that introverts can be just as successful as extroverts in many areas of life, including business, academia, and the arts.However, despite these facts, introverts can sometimes struggle to get ahead in a world that often values extroverted traits like assertiveness, charisma, and social skills. That's where learning to harness the power of introversion comes in.So, how can you do this? Here are a few tips:1. Embrace your introverted nature. One of the most important things you can do as an introvert is to accept and embrace your natural tendencies. Don't try to force yourself to be more outgoing or gregarious than you feel comfortable with, and don't apologize for needing alone time or quiet environments to work in. Instead, focus on finding ways to work within your natural strengths and preferences, such as by seeking out quiet workspaces or using your skills in writing or analytical thinking to shine in your field.2. Cultivate your listening skills. One of the strengths of introverts is that they tend to be good listeners. Usethis skill to your advantage by actively listening to others in your personal and professional interactions. Not only will you gain valuable insights and information, but you'll also be seen as a thoughtful and engaged team member or leader.3. Choose your social interactions carefully. While it's important to develop relationships with other people in your field or industry, introverts should also be mindful of their social energy levels. Don't feel obligated to attend every networking event or industry conference that comes up鈥?instead, focus on finding a few key events oropportunities where you can make meaningful connections with people who share your interests or goals.4. Develop an "elevator pitch" for your work. Introverts sometimes struggle to articulate their strengths and achievements, which can make it difficult to advance in their careers. To combat this, develop a concise "elevator pitch" that highlights your skills and accomplishments in a clear, concise way. This will make it easier to communicate your value to others in professional situations.5. Take advantage of online networking and communication. One of the strengths of introverted people is that they tendto be comfortable with online communication and relationships. Use this to your advantage by seeking out online networking opportunities, such as LinkedIn groups or industry forums, where you can connect with others in your field withoutfeeling overwhelmed or drained.In conclusion, being introverted is not a weakness鈥?it's a unique trait that can be harnessed for incredible success and achievement. By embracing your introverted nature, cultivating your listening skills, choosing socialinteractions carefully, developing an "elevator pitch," and taking advantage of online networking opportunities, you can tap into the power of introversion and achieve your personal and professional goals. Thank you for listening.。

By fostering a culture that values and embraces both personality traits, diversity and holistic growth can be achieved.b.

TED英文演讲稿：内向性格的力量范文稿

TED英文演讲稿：内向性格的力量
when i was nine years old i went off to summer camp for the first time. and my mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do. because in my family, reading was the primary group activity. and this might sound antisocial to you, but for us it was really just a different way of being social. you have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you, but you are also free to go roaming around the adventureland inside your own mind. and i had this idea that camp was going to be just like this, but better. (laughter) i had a vision of 10 girls sitting in a cabin cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns.
now, i tell you this story about summer camp. i could have told you 50 others just like it -- all the times that i got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go, that i should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert. and i always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were. but for years i denied this intuition, and so i became a wall street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that i had always longed to be -- partly because i needed to prove to myself that i could be bold and assertive too. and i was always going off to crowded bars when i really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. and i made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that i wasn't even aware that i was making them.

TED演讲英文演讲稿内向性格的力量When I was nine years old I went off to summer campfor the first time. And my mother packed me a suitcase fullof books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thingto do. Because in my family, reading was the primary group activity. And this might sound antisocial to you, but for usit was really just a different way of being social. You have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you,but you are also free to go roaming around the adventureland inside your own mind. And I had this idea that camp was going to be just like this, but better. (Laughter) I had a visionof 10 girls sitting in a cabin cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns.(Laughter)Camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol. And on the very first day our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill camp spirit. And it went like this: "R-O-W-D-I-E, that's the waywe spell rowdie. Rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie." Yeah. SoI couldn't figure out for the life of me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this word incorrectly. (Laughter) But I recited a cheer. I recited a cheer alongwith everybody else. I did my best. And I just waited for the time that I could go off and read my books.But the first time that I took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, "Why are you being so mellow?" -- mellow, of course,being the exact opposite of R-O-W-D-I-E. And then the second time I tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.And so I put my books away, back in their suitcase, and I put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. And I felt kind of guilty about this. I felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me and I was forsaking them. But I did forsake them and I didn't open that suitcase again until I was back home with my family at the end of the summer.Now to see the bias clearly you need to understand what introversion is. It's different from being shy. Shyness is about fear of social judgment. Introversion is more about, how do you respond to stimulation, including social stimulation. So extroverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most switched-on and their most capable when they're in quieter, more low-key environments. Not all the time -- these things aren't absolute -- but a lot of the time. So the key then to maximizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves in the zone of stimulation that is right for us.Now in fact, some of our transformative leaders in history have been introverts. I'll give you some examples. Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Gandhi -- all these peopled described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy. And they all took the spotlight, even though every bone intheir bodies was telling them not to. And this turns out to have a special power all its own, because people could feel that these leaders were at the helm, not because they enjoyed directing others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at; they were there because they had no choice, because they were driven to do what they thought was right.Now I think at this point it's important for me tosay that I actually love extroverts. I always like to saysome of my best friends are extroverts, including my beloved husband. And we all fall at different points, of course,along the introvert/extrovert spectrum. Even Carl Jung, the psychologist who first popularized these terms, said thatthere's no such thing as a pure introvert or a pure extrovert. He said that such a man would be in a lunatic asylum, if he existed at all. And some people fall smack in the middle ofthe introvert/extrovert spectrum, and we call these people ambiverts. And I often think that they have the best of all worlds. But many of us do recognize ourselves as one type or the other.This is no surprise though if you look at theinsights of contemporary psychology. It turns out that wecan't even be in a group of people without instinctively mirroring, mimicking their opinions. Even about seemingly personal and visceral things like who you're attracted to, you will start aping the beliefs of the people around you without even realizing that that's what you're doing.Now if all this is true, then why are we getting it so wrong? Why are we setting up our schools this way and our workplaces? And why are we making these introverts feel so guilty about wanting to just go off by themselves some of the time? One answer lies deep in our cultural history. Western societies, and in particular the U.S., have always favored the man of action over the man of contemplation and "man" of contemplation. But in America's early days, we lived in what historians call a culture of character, where we still, at that point, valued people for their inner selves and their moral rectitude. And if you look at the self-help books from this era, they all had titles with things like "Character, the Grandest Thing in the World." And they featured role models like Abraham Lincoln who was praised for being modest and unassuming. Ralph Waldo Emerson called him "A man who does not offend by superiority."So now I'd like to share with you what's in my suitcase today. Guess what? Books. I have a suitcase full of books. Here's Margaret Atwood, "Cat's Eye." Here's a novel by Milan Kundera. And here's "The Guide for the Perplexed" by Maimonides. But these are not exactly my books. I broughtthese books with me because they were written by my grandfather's favorite authors.My grandfather was a rabbi and he was a widower who lived alone in a small apartment in Brooklyn that was my favorite place in the world when I was growing up, partly because it was filled with his very gentle, very courtly presence and partly because it was filled with books. I mean literally every table, every chair in this apartment had yielded its original function to now serve as a surface for swaying stacks of books. Just like the rest of my family, my grandfather's favorite thing to do in the whole world was to read.But here's the thing about my grandfather. Underneath this ceremonial role, he was really modest and really introverted -- so much so that when he delivered these sermons, he had trouble making eye contact with the very same congregation that he had been speaking to for 62 years. And even away from the podium, when you called him to say hello, he would often end the conversation prematurely for fear that he was taking up too much of your time. But when he died at the age of 94, the police had to close down the streets of his neighborhood to adate the crowd of people who came out to mourn him. And so these days I try to learn from my grandfather's example in my own way.Okay, number two: Go to the wilderness. Be like Buddha, have your own revelations. I'm not saying that we all have to now go off and build our own cabins in the woods and never talk to each other again, but I am saying that we could all stand to unplug and get inside our own heads a little more often.Number three: Take a good look at what's inside your own suitcase and why you put it there. So extroverts, maybe your suitcases are also full of books. Or maybe they're full of champagne glasses or skydiving equipment. Whatever it is, I hope you take these things out every chance you get and grace us with your energy and your joy. But introverts, you being you, you probably have the impulse to guard very carefully what's inside your own suitcase. And that's okay. But occasionally, just occasionally, I hope you will open up your suitcases for other people to see, because the world needs you and it needs the things you carry.So I wish you the best of all possible journeys and the courage to speak softly.Thank you very much.(Applause)Thank you. Thank you.。

内向性格的力量作文

内向性格的力量作文英文回答：The Strength of Introversion.Introversion is often misunderstood and undervalued in our society that tends to favor extroverted qualities. However, being introverted has its own unique strengths and can bring a lot of value to both individuals and society as a whole.One of the strengths of introversion is the ability to think deeply and reflect on oneself. Introverts tend to be more introspective and self-aware, which allows them to gain a deeper understanding of their own thoughts and emotions. This self-reflection can lead to personal growth and development. For example, when faced with a difficult decision, introverts may take the time to carefully consider their options and weigh the pros and cons before making a choice. This thoughtful approach can often lead tobetter decision-making and more successful outcomes.Another strength of introversion is the ability to listen and empathize with others. Introverts are often great listeners and have a natural ability to understand and connect with others on a deeper level.

They have a keen eye for small detailsthat others may overlook, which can be valuable in various fields such as art, science, and problem-solving. For example, introverts may notice patterns or connections that others miss, leading to innovative ideas or solutions. This attention to detail can also contribute to high-quality work and a meticulous approach to tasks.In addition, introverts tend to be independent andself-sufficient. They are comfortable with solitude and can often thrive in solitary activities. This independence can lead to increased creativity and productivity. For example, introverts may find inspiration and recharge their energy through activities such as reading, writing, or pursuing hobbies.

如何利用内向性格的力量：TED英语演讲稿How to Harness the Power of Introverted Personality: TED SpeechGood evening, ladies and gentlemen. Today, I am honored to speak to you about the power of introverted personality and how you can harness it to achieve your goals.As an introvert myself, I understand firsthand the misconceptions and stigmas attached to introversion. For a long time, introverted individuals have been seen as shy, quiet, and anti-social. However, that stereotype couldn't be further from the truth. In reality, introverted individuals possess valuable skills and characteristics that can be used to succeed in various aspects of life.Firstly, introverts excel in focused work. They are more comfortable in quiet environments where they can think deeply and concentrate on tasks. This makes them highly efficient and productive in tasks that require concentration and good attention to detail. In a world that is increasingly dominated by distractions, introverts' ability to shut out noise and focus on the task at hand is a highly sought-afterskill that can be utilized in many fields, be it in academics, research, or creative work.Moreover, introverts are great listeners. They are less likely to interrupt or talk over others, which makes them effective in nurturing relationships and building rapport. Their empathetic nature and attention to detail enable themto pick up subtle cues in conversations that others may miss. This quality makes them great listeners, mentors, and coaches.Introverts are also great thinkers. They tend to process information deeply and reflect on situations before reacting. This gives them a unique perspective that can lead to innovative solutions and ideas. In fact, some of the greatest minds in history, such as Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton, were introverted individuals who were able to achieve their breakthroughs through careful contemplation and observation.However, introverts often struggle with networking and asserting themselves in social situations. This can limittheir opportunities for growth and success in areas where social skills are highly valued, such as business and leadership. Therefore, introverts need to find ways toleverage their strengths while developing basic social skills.One strategy is to engage in teamwork. Althoughintroverted individuals prefer working alone, participatingin group work can be beneficial as it allows them to learnfrom others and get exposure to diverse perspectives and ideas. Teamwork also allows introverts to practice communicating their ideas effectively and building relationships.Another strategy is to take advantage of digital media platforms such as social media, email, and video conferencing. These tools allow introverted individuals to communicate from the comfort of their own space, without the pressure of face-to-face interaction. By leveraging digital media, introverts can build relationships, expand their network, and sharetheir ideas with a wider audience.In conclusion, introverted individuals have numerous strengths that can be harnessed for success. By embracingtheir introverted nature and capitalizing on their analytical, intuitive, and reflective qualities, introverts can achieve their goals and make meaningful contributions to their fields. By honing their basic social skills and leveraging digital media platforms, they can also overcome their limitations andexpand their reach. Remember, introversion is not a weakness but a strength that needs to be nurtured and utilized effectively. Thank you.。

英语演讲稿：内向性格的力量

英语演讲稿：内向性格的力量Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today, I would like to talk to you about the power of being an introvert.It is often assumed that extroverted individuals are the most successful, outgoing, and influential people in the world. However, this is not entirely true. Introverts possess several strengths that can be just as powerful as those of extroverts. In fact, many of the world's most successful people are introverts, such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Albert Einstein.One of the strengths of introverts is that they are excellent listeners. Because they do not crave attention in social situations, they are better able to pay attention to what others are saying. This means they have a greater capacity for empathy and understanding, and are often the best people to confide in. Additionally, introverts can think deeply and reflectively about their own experiences, and this makes them excellent problem solvers.Introverts are also often highly creative. They spend more time in introspection, allowing them to create ideas that are unique and out of the box. Introverts are natural observers who notice small details that others may miss. This is an important skill in fields like art and design as well as scientific research where attention to detail is essential.Furthermore, introverts tend to have a greater depth of knowledge and expertise in their fields. They are not interested in small talk or gossip, instead preferring to focus on their passion areas and gaining in-depth knowledge in these areas. This means that theyare often respected for their knowledge and insight and are considered authorities on their topics of interest.Lastly, introverts are highly self-aware and reflective. They spend more time thinking about who they are, what they want, and how they can improve themselves. This self-reflection and self-awareness enables them to understand their own strengths and weaknesses, and to improve themselves constantly.So, what can we learn from the strengths of introverts? Firstly, we should recognize and appreciate the unique strengths of introverted individuals. They have the potential to contribute a great deal to society through their creativity, empathy, and expertise. Secondly, we should create more space and opportunities for introverts to thrive. This could mean designing workplaces that value quiet, solitary work, or creating social situations that promote the sharing of ideas and thoughtful discussion.In conclusion, being introverted is not something to be ashamed of. In fact, it can be a source of strength and power. Let us all embrace our inner introvert, and recognize the unique and valuable contributions that these individuals can bring to our lives and our communities. Thank you.。

Because in my family, reading was the primary group activity. And this might sound antisocial to you, but for us it was really just a different way of being social. You have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you, but you are also free to go roaming around the adventureland inside your own mind. And I had this idea that camp was going to be just like this, but better. (Laughter) I had a vision of 10 girls sitting in a cabin cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns.(Laughter)Camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol. And on the very first day our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill camp spirit. And it went like this: "R-O-W-D-I-E, that's the way we spell rowdie. Rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie." Yeah. So I couldn't figure out for the life of me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this word incorrectly. (Laughter) But I recited a cheer. I recited a cheer along with everybody else. I did my best. And I just waited for the time that I could go off and read my books.But the first time that I took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, "Why are you being so mellow?" -- mellow, of course, being the exact opposite of R-O-W-D-I-E. And then the second time I tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said weshould all work very hard to be outgoing.And so I put my books away, back in their suitcase, and I put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. And I felt kind of guilty about this. I felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me and I was forsaking them. But I did forsake them and I didn't open that suitcase again until I was back home with my family at the end of the summer.Now, I tell you this story about summer camp. I could have told you 50 others just like it -- all the times that I got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go, that I should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert. And I always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were. But for years I denied this intuition, and so I became a Wall Street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that I had always longed to be -- partly because I needed to prove to myself that I could be bold and assertive too. And I was always going off to crowded bars when I really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. And I made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that I wasn't even aware that I was making them.Now this is what many introverts do, and it's our loss for sure, but it is also our colleagues' loss and our communities' loss. And at the risk of sounding grandiose, it is the world's loss. Because when it comes to creativity and to leadership, we need introverts doing what they do best. A third to a half of the population are introverts -- a third to a half. So that's one out of every two or three people you know. So even if you're an extrovert yourself, I'm talking about your coworkers and your spouses and your children and the person sitting next to you right now -- all ofthem subject to this bias that is pretty deep and real in our society. We all internalize it from a very early age without even having a language for what we're doing.Now to see the bias clearly you need to understand what introversion is. It's different from being shy. Shyness is about fear of social judgment. Introversion is more about, how do you respond to stimulation, including social stimulation. So extroverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most switched-on and their most capable when they're in quieter, more low-key environments. Not all the time -- these things aren't absolute -- but a lot of the time. So the key then to maximizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves in the zone of stimulation that is right for us.But now here's where the bias comes in. Our most important institutions, our schools and our workplaces, they are designed mostly for extroverts and for extroverts' need for lots of stimulation. And also we have this belief system right now that I call the new groupthink, which holds that all creativity and all productivity comes from a very oddly gregarious place.So if you picture the typical classroom nowadays: When I was going to school, we sat in rows. We sat in rows of desks like this, and we did most of our work pretty autonomously. But nowadays, your typical classroom has pods of desks -- four or five or six or seven kids all facing each other. And kids are working in countless group assignments. Even in subjects like math and creative writing, which you think would depend on solo flights of thought, kids are now expected to act as committee members. And for the kids who prefer to go off by themselves or just to work alone, those kids are seen as outliers often or, worse, as problem cases.And the vast majority of teachers reports believing that the ideal student is an extrovert as opposed to an introvert, even though introverts actually get better grades and are more knowledgeable, according to research. (Laughter)Okay, same thing is true in our workplaces. Now, most of us work in open plan offices, without walls, where we are subject to the constant noise and gaze of our coworkers. And when it comes to leadership, introverts are routinely passed over for leadership positions, even though introverts tend to be very careful, much less likely to take outsize risks -- which is something we might all favor nowadays. And interesting research by Adam Grant at the Wharton School has found that introverted leaders often deliver better outcomes than extroverts do, because when they are managing proactive employees, they're much more likely to let those employees run with their ideas, whereas an extrovert can, quite unwittingly, get so excited about things that they're putting their own stamp on things, and other people's ideas might not as easily then bubble up to the surface.Now in fact, some of our transformative leaders in history have been introverts. I'll give you some examples. Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Gandhi -- all these peopled described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy. And they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies was telling them not to. And this turns out to have a special power all its own, because people could feel that these leaders were at the helm, not because they enjoyed directing others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at; they were there because they had no choice, because they were driven to do what they thought was right.Now I think at this point it's important for me to say that Iactually love extroverts. I always like to say some of my best friends are extroverts, including my beloved husband. And we all fall at different points, of course, along the introvert/extrovert spectrum. Even Carl Jung, the psychologist who first popularized these terms, said that there's no such thing as a pure introvert or a pure extrovert. He said that such a man would be in a lunatic asylum, if he existed at all. And some people fall smack in the middle of the introvert/extrovert spectrum, and we call these people ambiverts. And I often think that they have the best of all worlds. But many of us do recognize ourselves as one type or the other.And what I'm saying is that culturally we need a much better balance. We need more of a yin and yang between these two types. This is especially important when it comes to creativity and to productivity, because when psychologists look at the lives of the most creative people, what they find are people who are very good at exchanging ideas and advancing ideas, but who also have a serious streak of introversion in them.And this is because solitude is a crucial ingredient often to creativity. So Darwin, he took long walks alone in the woods and emphatically turned down dinner party invitations. Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, he dreamed up many of his amazing creations in a lonely bell tower office that he had in the back of his house in La Jolla, California. And he was actually afraid to meet the young children who read his books for fear that they were expecting him this kind of jolly Santa Claus-like figure and would be disappointed with his more reserved persona. Steve Wozniak invented the first Apple computer sitting alone in his cubical in Hewlett-Packard where he was working at the time. And he says that he never would have become such an expert inthe first place had he not been too introverted to leave the house when he was growing up.Now of course, this does not mean that we should all stop collaborating -- and case in point, is Steve Wozniak famously coming together with Steve Jobs to start Apple Computer -- but it does mean that solitude matters and that for some people it is the air that they breathe. And in fact, we have known for centuries about the transcendent power of solitude. It's only recently that we've strangely begun to forget it. If you look at most of the world's major religions, you will find seekers -- Moses, Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad -- seekers who are going off by themselves alone to the wilderness where they then have profound epiphanies and revelations that they then bring back to the rest of the community. So no wilderness, no revelations.This is no surprise though if you look at the insights of contemporary psychology. It turns out that we can't even be in a group of people without instinctively mirroring, mimicking their opinions. Even about seemingly personal and visceral things like who you're attracted to, you will start aping the beliefs of the people around you without even realizing that that's what you're doing.And groups famously follow the opinions of the most dominant or charismatic person in the room, even though there's zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas -- I mean zero. So ... (Laughter) You might be following the person with the best ideas, but you might not. And do you really want to leave it up to chance? Much better for everybody to go off by themselves, generate their own ideas freed from the distortions of group dynamics, and then come together as a team to talk them through in a well-managed environment and take itfrom there.Now if all this is true, then why are we getting it so wrong? Why are we setting up our schools this way and our workplaces? And why are we making these introverts feel so guilty about wanting to just go off by themselves some of the time? One answer lies deep in our cultural history. Western societies, and in particular the U.S., have always favored the man of action over the man of contemplation and "man" of contemplation. But in America's early days, we lived in what historians call a culture of character, where we still, at that point, valued people for their inner selves and their moral rectitude. And if you look at the self-help books from this era, they all had titles with things like "Character, the Grandest Thing in the World." And they featured role models like Abraham Lincoln who was praised for being modest and unassuming. Ralph Waldo Emerson called him "A man who does not offend by superiority."But then we hit the 20th century and we entered a new culture that historians call the culture of personality. What happened is we had evolved an agricultural economy to a world of big business. And so suddenly people are moving from small towns to the cities. And instead of working alongside people they've known all their lives, now they are having to prove themselves in a crowd of strangers. So, quite understandably, qualities like magnetism and charisma suddenly come to seem really important. And sure enough, the self-help books change to meet these new needs and they start to have names like "How to Win Friends and Influence People." And they feature as their role models really great salesmen. So that's the world we're living in today. That's our cultural inheritance.Now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant,and I'm also not calling for the abolishing of teamwork at all. The same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust. And the problems that we are facing today in fields like science and in economics are so vast and so complex that we are going to need armies of people coming together to solve them working together. But I am saying that the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up with their own unique solutions to these problems.So now I'd like to share with you what's in my suitcase today. Guess what? Books. I have a suitcase full of books. Here's Margaret Atwood, "Cat's Eye." Here's a novel by Milan Kundera. And here's "The Guide for the Perplexed" by Maimonides. But these are not exactly my books. I brought these books with me because they were written by my grandfather's favorite authors.My grandfather was a rabbi and he was a widower who lived alone in a small apartment in Brooklyn that was my favorite place in the world when I was growing up, partly because it was filled with his very gentle, very courtly presence and partly because it was filled with books. I mean literally every table, every chair in this apartment had yielded its original function to now serve as a surface for swaying stacks of books. Just like the rest of my family, my grandfather's favorite thing to do in the whole world was to read.But he also loved his congregation, and you could feel this love in the sermons that he gave every week for the 62 years that he was a rabbi. He would takes the fruits of each week's reading and he would weave these intricate tapestries of ancient and humanist thought. And people would come from all over to hear him speak.But here's the thing about my grandfather. Underneath this ceremonial role, he was really modest and really introverted -- so much so that when he delivered these sermons, he had trouble making eye contact with the very same congregation that he had been speaking to for 62 years. And even away from the podium, when you called him to say hello, he would often end the conversation prematurely for fear that he was taking up too much of your time. But when he died at the age of 94, the police had to close down the streets of his neighborhood to accommodate the crowd of people who came out to mourn him. And so these days I try to learn from my grandfather's example in my own way.So I just published a book about introversion, and it took me about seven years to write. And for me, that seven years was like total bliss, because I was reading, I was writing, I was thinking, I was researching. It was my version of my grandfather's hours of the day alone in his library. But now all of a sudden my job is very different, and my job is to be out here talking about it, talking about introversion. (Laughter) And that's a lot harder for me, because as honored as I am to be here with all of you right now, this is not my natural milieu.So I prepared for moments like these as best I could. I spent the last year practicing public speaking every chance I could get. And I call this my "year of speaking dangerously." (Laughter) And that actually helped a lot. But I'll tell you, what helps even more is my sense, my belief, my hope that when it comes to our attitudes to introversion and to quiet and to solitude, we truly are poised on the brink on dramatic change. I mean, we are. And so I am going to leave you now with three calls for action for those who share this vision.Number one: Stop the madness for constant group work. Just stop it. (Laughter) Thank you. (Applause) And I want to be clear about what I'm saying, because I deeply believe our offices should be encouraging casual, chatty cafe-style types of interactions -- you know, the kind where people come together and serendipitously have an exchange of ideas. That is great. It's great for introverts and it's great for extroverts. But we need much more privacy and much more freedom and much more autonomy at work. School, same thing. We need to be teaching kids to work together, for sure, but we also need to be teaching them how to work on their own. This is especially important for extroverted children too. They need to work on their own because that is where deep thought comes from in part.Okay, number two: Go to the wilderness. Be like Buddha, have your own revelations. I'm not saying that we all have to now go off and build our own cabins in the woods and never talk to each other again, but I am saying that we could all stand to unplug and get inside our own heads a little more often.Number three: Take a good look at what's inside your own suitcase and why you put it there. So extroverts, maybe your suitcases are also full of books. Or maybe they're full of champagne glasses or skydiving equipment. Whatever it is, I hope you take these things out every chance you get and grace us with your energy and your joy. But introverts, you being you, you probably have the impulse to guard very carefully what's inside your own suitcase. And that's okay. But occasionally, just occasionally, I hope you will open up your suitcases for other people to see, because the world needs you and it needs the things you carry.So I wish you the best of all possible journeys and thecourage to speak softly.Thank you very much.(Applause)Thank you. Thank you.。

内向性格的力量英语演讲稿

内向性格的力量英语演讲稿Ladies and gentlemen,Today, I stand before you to talk about the power of introversion. In a society that often values extroversion and outgoing personalities, introverts are often portrayed as shy, reserved, and even misunderstood. However, it is time to recognize and appreciate the unique strengths and abilities that introverts bring to the table.First and foremost, introverts possess the power of deep thinking and introspection. They thrive in quiet and reflective environments, where they can truly engage with their thoughts and ideas. This ability allows introverts to excel in various fields, from science and research to writing and artistic endeavors. Their ability to delve into complex problems and find thoughtful solutions is a valuable asset in our fast-paced world.Furthermore, introverts have a deep capacity for empathy and understanding. Because they tend to listen and observe more than they speak, introverts have the ability to truly connect with others on a profound level. They listen attentively, absorb the emotions and concerns of those around them, and provide meaningful support and guidance. Their calm and empathetic nature often makes them excellent leaders, mentors, and friends.Introverts are also known for their keen observation skills.

This attention to detail allows introverts to grasp complex concepts and make well-informed decisions. Their ability to analyze and synthesize information becomes an invaluable tool in problem-solving and decision-making processes.Moreover, introverts are often highly self-motivated and independent. They do not rely on external validation or constant social interaction to excel. Instead, they draw strength from within and have the discipline and focus to pursue their goals and dreams. This self-reliance and determination often lead introverts to achieve great success in their chosen fields.In today's world, it is crucial that we embrace and harness the power of introversion. We should create environments that allow introverts to shine and contribute their unique perspectives and skills. By embracing their strengths, we can foster creativity, innovation, and collaboration.So, let us celebrate the power of introversion and recognize the valuable contributions that introverts make to our society. Let us create a world that values introspection, empathy, and deep thinking. Let us champion the quiet revolution and reap the benefits of introverts' tremendous potential.Thank you.。

内向性格的力量英文演讲稿

内向性格的力量英文演讲稿内向性格的力量英文演讲稿范文When I was nine years old I went off to summer camp for the first time. And my mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do. Because in my family, reading was the primary group activity. And this might sound antisocial to you, but for us it was really just a different way of being social. You have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you, but you are also free to go roaming around the adventureland inside your own mind. And I had this ideathat camp was going to be just like this, but better. (Laughter) I had a vision of 10 girls sitting in a cabin cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns.(Laughter)Camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol. And on the very first day our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instillcamp spirit. And it went like this: "R-O-W-D-I-E, that's the way we spell rowdie. Rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie." Yeah. So I couldn't figure out for the life of me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this word incorrectly. (Laughter) But I recited a cheer. I recited a cheer along with everybody else. I did my best. And I just waited for the time that I could go off and read my books.But the first time that I took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, "Why are you being so mellow?" -- mellow, of course, being the exact opposite of R-O-W-D-I-E. And then the second time I tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.And so I put my books away, back in their suitcase, and I put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. And I felt kind of guilty about this. I felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were callingout to me and I was forsaking them. But I did forsake them and I didn't open that suitcase again until I was back home with my family at the end of the summer.Now, I ___ you this story about summer camp. I could have told you 50 others just like it -- all the times that I got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go, that I should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert. And I always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were. But for years I denied this intuition, and so I became a Wall Street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that I had always longed to be -- partly because I needed to prove to myself that I could be bold and assertive too. And I was always going off to crowded bars when I really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. And I made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that I wasn't even aware that I was making them.Now this is what many introverts do, and it's our lossfor sure, but it is also our colleagues' loss and ourmunities' loss. And at the risk of sounding grandiose, it is the world's loss. Because when it es to creativity and to leadership, we need introverts doing what they do best.A third to a half of the population are introverts -- a third to a half.

And also we have this belief system right now that I call the new groupthink, which holds that all creativity and all productivity es from a very oddly gregarious place.So if you picture the typical classroom nowadays: When I was going to school, we sat in rows. We sat in rows of desks like this, and we did most of our work pretty autonomously. But nowadays, your typical classroom has pods of desks -- four or five or six or seven kids all facing each other. And kids are working in countless group assignments. Even in subjects like math and creative writing, which you think would depend on solo flights of thought, kids are now expected to act as mittee members. And for the kids who prefer to go off by themselves or justto work alone, those kids are seen as outliers often or, worse, as problem cases. And the vast majority of teachers reports believing that the ideal student is an extrovert as opposed to an introvert, even though introverts actually get better grades and are more knowledgeable, aording to research. (Laughter)Okay, same thing is true in our workplaces. Now, most of us work in open plan offices, without walls, where we are subject to the constant noise and gaze of our coworkers. And when it es to leadership, introverts are routinely passed over for leadership positions, even thoughintroverts tend to be very careful, much less likely to take outsize risks -- which is something we might all favor nowadays. And interesting research by Adam Grant at the Wharton School has found that introverted leaders often deliver better outes than extroverts do, because when they are managing proactive employees, they're much more likely to let those employees run with their ideas, whereas an extrovert can, quite unwittingly, get so excited about things that they're putting their own stamp on things, andother people's ideas might not as easily then bubble up to the surface.Now in fact, some of our transformative leaders inhistory have been introverts. I'll give you some examples. Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Gandhi -- all these peopled described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy. And they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies was ___ing them not to. And this turns out to have a special power all its own, because people could feel that these leaders were at the helm, not because they enjoyed directing others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at; they were there because they had no choice, because they were driven to do what they thought was right.Now I think at this point it's important for me to say that I actually love extroverts. I always like to say some of my best friends are extroverts, including my beloved husband. And we all fall at different points, of course, along the introvert/extrovert spectrum. Even Carl Jung, the psychologist who first popularized these terms, said thatthere's no such thing as a pure introvert or a pure extrovert. He said that such a man would be in a lunatic asylum, if he existed at all. And some people fall smack in the middle of the introvert/extrovert spectrum, and we call these people ambiverts. And I often think that they have the best of all worlds. But many of us do recognize ourselves as one type or the other.And what I'm saying is that culturally we need a much better balance. We need more of a yin and yang between these two types. This is especially important when it es to creativity and to productivity, because when psychologists look at the lives of the most creative people, what they find are people who are very good at exchanging ideas and advancing ideas, but who also have a serious streak of introversion in them.And this is because solitude is a crucial ingredient often to creativity. So Darwin, he took long walks alone in the woods and emphatically turned down dinner party invitations. Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, he dreamed up many of his amazing creations in a lonely belltower office that he had in the back of his house in La Jolla, California. And he was actually afraid to meet the young children who read his books for fear that they were expecting him this kind of jolly Santa Claus-like figure and would be disappointed with his more reserved persona. Steve Wozniak invented the first Apple puter sitting alone in his cubical in Hewlett-Packard where he was working at the time. And he says that he never would have bee such an expert in the first place had he not been too introverted to leave the house when he was growing up.Now of course, this does not mean that we should all stop collaborating -- and case in point, is Steve Wozniak famously ing together with Steve Jobs to start Apple Computer -- but it does mean that solitude matters and that for some people it is the air that they breathe. And in fact, we have known for centuries about the transcendent power of solitude. It's only recently that we've strangely begun to forget it. If you look at most of the world's major religions, you will find seekers -- Moses, Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad -- seekers who are going off by themselves alone to the wilderness where they then have profoundepiphanies and revelations that they then bring back to the rest of the munity. So no wilderness, no revelations.This is no surprise though if you look at the insights of contemporary psychology. It turns out that we can't even be in a group of people without instinctively mirroring, mimicking their opinions. Even about seemingly personal and visceral things like who you're attracted to, you willstart aping the beliefs of the people around you without even realizing that that's what you're doing.模板,内容仅供参考。

TED演讲英文演讲稿：内向性格的力量

TED演讲英文演讲稿：内向性格的力量when i was nine years old i went off to summer camp for the first time. and my mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do. because in my family, reading was the primary group activity. and this might sound antisocial to you, but for us it was really just a different way of being social. you have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you, but you are also free to go roaming around the adventureland inside your own mind. and i had this idea that camp was going to be just like this, but better. (laughter) i had a vision of 10 girls sitting in a cabin cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns.(laughter)camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol. and on the very first day our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill camp spirit. and it went like this: r-o-w-d-i-e, that’s the way we spell rowdie. rowdie, rowdie, let’s get rowdie. yeah. so i couldn’t figure out for the life of me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this word incorrectly. (laughter) but i recited a cheer.i recited a cheer along with everybody else. i did my best. and i just waited for the time that i could go off and read my books.but the first time that i took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, why are you being so mellow? -- mellow, of course, being the exact opposite of r-o-w-d-i-e. and then the second time i tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.and so i put my books away, back in their suitcase, and i put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. and i felt kindof guilty about this. i felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me and i was forsaking them. but i did forsake them and i didn’t open that suitcase again until i was back home with my family at the end of the summer.now, i tell you this story about summer camp. i could have told you 50 others just like it -- all the times that i got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go, that i should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert. and i always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were. but for years i denied this intuition, and so i became a wall street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that i had always longed to be -- partly because i needed to prove to myself that i could be bold and assertive too. and i was always going off to crowded bars when i really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. and i made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that i wasn’t even aware that i was making them.now this is what many introverts do, and it’s our loss for sure, but it is also our colleagues’ loss and our munities’ loss. and at the risk of sounding grandiose, it is the world’s loss. because when it es to creativity and to leadership, we need introverts doing what they do best.a third to a half of the population are introverts -- a third to a half. so that’s one out of every two or three people you know. so even if you’re an extrovert yourself, i’m talking about your coworkers and your spouses and your children and the person sitting next to you right now -- all of them subject to this bias that is pretty deep and real in our society. we all internalize it from a very early age without even having a language for what we’re doing.now to see the bias clearly you need to understand what introversion is. it’s different from being shy. shyness is about fear of socialjudgment. introversion is more about, how do you respond to stimulation, including social stimulation. so extroverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most switched-on and their most capable when they’re in quieter, more low-key environments. not all the time -- these things aren’t absolute -- but a lot of the time. so the key then to maximizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves in the zone of stimulation that is right for us.but now here’s where the bias es in. our most important institutions, our schools and our workplaces, they are designed mostly for extroverts and for extroverts’ need for lots of stimulat ion. and also we have this belief system right now that i call the new groupthink, which holds that all creativity and all productivity es from a very oddly gregarious place. so if you picture the typical classroom nowadays: when i was going to school, we sat in rows. we sat in rows of desks like this, and we did most of our work pretty autonomously. but nowadays, your typical classroom has pods of desks -- four or five or six or seven kids all facing each other. and kids are working in countless group assignments. even in subjects like math and creative writing, which you think would depend on solo flights of thought, kids are now expected to act as mittee members. and for the kids who prefer to go off by themselves or just to work alone, those kids are seen as outliers often or, worse, as problem cases. and the vast majority of teachers reports believing that the ideal student is an extrovert as opposed to an introvert, even though introverts actually get better grades and are more knowledgeable, according to research. (laughter)okay, same thing is true in our workplaces. now, most of us work in open plan offices, without walls, where we are subject to the constant noise and gaze of our coworkers. and when it es to leadership, introverts are routinely passed over for leadership positions, even thoughintroverts tend to be very careful, much less likely to take outsize risks -- which is something we might all favor nowadays. and interesting research by adam grant at the wharton school has found that introverted leaders often deliver better outes than extroverts do, because when they are managing proactive employees, they’re much more likely to let those employees run with their ideas, whereas an extrovert can, quite unwittingly, get so excited about th ings that they’re putting their own stamp on things, and other people’s ideas might not as easily then bubble up to the surface.now in fact, some of our transformative leaders in history have been introverts. i’ll give you some examples. eleanor roose velt, rosa parks, gandhi -- all these peopled described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy. and they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies was telling them not to. and this turns out to have a special power all its own, because people could feel that these leaders were at the helm, not because they enjoyed directing others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at; they were there because they had no choice, because they were driven to do what they thought was right.now i think at this point it’s important for me to say that i actually love extroverts. i always like to say some of my best friends are extroverts, including my beloved husband. and we all fall at different points, of course, along the introvert spectrum. even carl jung, the psychologist who first popularized these terms, said that there’s no such thing as a pure introvert or a pure extrovert. he said that such a man would be in a lunatic asylum, if he existed at all. and some people fall smack in the middle of the introvert spectrum, and we call these people ambiverts. and i often think that they have the best of all worlds. but many of us do recognize ourselves as one type or the other.and what i’m saying is that culturally we need a much bet ter balance.we need more of a yin and yang between these two types. this is especially important when it es to creativity and to productivity, because when psychologists look at the lives of the most creative people, what they find are people who are very good at exchanging ideas and advancing ideas, but who also have a serious streak of introversion in them.and this is because solitude is a crucial ingredient often to creativity. so darwin, he took long walks alone in the woods and emphatically turned down dinner party invitations. theodor geisel, better known as dr. seuss, he dreamed up many of his amazing creations in a lonely bell tower office that he had in the back of his house in la jolla, california. and he was actually afraid to meet the young children who read his books for fear that they were expecting him this kind of jolly santa claus-like figure and would be disappointed with his more reserved persona. steve wozniak invented the first apple puter sitting alone in his cubical in hewlett-packard where he was working at the time. and he says that he never would have bee such an expert in the first place had he not been too introverted to leave the house when he was growing up.now of course, this does not mean that we should all stop collaborating -- and case in point, is steve wozniak famously ing together with steve jobs to start apple puter -- but it does mean that solitude matters and that for some people it is the air that they breathe. and in fact, we have known for centuries about th e transcendent power of solitude. it’s only recently that we’ve strangely begun to forget it. if you look at most of the world’s major religions, you will find seekers -- moses, jesus, buddha, muhammad -- seekers who are going off by themselves alone to the wilderness where they then have profound epiphanies and revelations that they then bring back to the rest of the munity. so no wilderness, no revelations.this is no surprise though if you look at the insights of contemporarypsychology. it turns out that we can’t even be in a group of people without instinctively mirroring, mimicking their opinions. even about seemingly personal and visceral things like who you’re attracted to, you will start aping the beliefs of the people around you without even realizing that that’s what you’re doing.and groups famously follow the opinions of the most dominant or charismatic person in the room, even though there’s zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas -- i mean zero. so ... (laughter) you might be following the person with the best ideas, but you might not. and do you really want to leave it up to chance? much better for everybody to go off by themselves, generate their own ideas freed from the distortions of group dynamics, and then e together as a team to talk them through in a well-managed environment and take it from there.now if all this is true, then why are we getting it so wrong? why are we setting up our schools this way and our workplaces? and why are we making these introverts feel so guilty about wanting to just go off by themselves some of the time? one answer lies deep in our cultural history. western societies, and in particular the ., have always favored the man of action over the man of contemplation and ma n of contemplation. but in america’s early days, we lived in what historians call a culture of character, where we still, at that point, valued people for their inner selves and their moral rectitude. and if you look at the self-help books from this era, they all had titles with things like character, the grandest thing in the world. and they featured role models like abraham lincoln who was praised for being modest and unassuming. ralph waldo emerson called him a man who does not offend by superiority.but then we hit the 20th century and we entered a new culture that historians call the culture of personality. what happened is we hadevolved an agricultural economy to a world of big business. and so suddenly people are moving from small towns to the cities. and instead of working alongside people they’ve known all their lives, now they are having to prove themselves in a crowd of strangers. so, quite understandably, qualities like magnetism and charisma suddenly e to seem really important. and sure enough, the self-help books change to meet these new needs and they start to have names like how to win friends and influence people. and they feature as their role models really great salesmen. so that’s the world we’re living in today. that’s our cultural in heritance.now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant, and i’m also not calling for the abolishing of teamwork at all. the same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust. and the problems that we are facing today in fields like science and in economics are so vast and so plex that we are going to need armies of people ing together to solve them working together. but i am saying that the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to e up with their own unique solutions to these problems.so now i’d like to share with you what’s in my suitcase today. guess what? books. i have a suitcase full of books. here’s margaret atwood, cat’s eye. here’s a novel by milan kundera. and here’s the guide for the perplexed by maimonides. but these are not exactly my books. i brought these books with me because they were written by my grandfather’s favorite authors.my grandfather was a rabbi and he was a widower who lived alone in a small apartment in brooklyn that was my favorite place in the world when i was growing up, partly because it was filled with his very gentle, very courtly presence and partly because it was filled with books. i mean literally every table, every chair in this apartment had yielded itsoriginal function to now serve as a surface for swaying stacks of books. just like the rest of my family, my grandfather’s favorite thing to do in the whole world was to read.but he also loved his congregation, and you could feel this love in the sermons that he gave every week for the 62 years that he was a rabbi. he would takes the fruits of each week’s reading and he would weave these intricate tapestries of ancient and humanist thought. and people would e from all over to hear him speak.but here’s the thing about my grandfather. underneath this ceremonial role, he was really modest and really introverted -- so much so that when he delivered these sermons, he had trouble making eye contact with the very same congregation that he had been speaking to for 62 years. and even away from the podium, when you called him to say hello, he would often end the conversation prematurely for fear that he was taking up too much of your time. but when he died at the age of 94, the police had to close down the streets of his neighborhood to acmodate the crowd of people who came out to mourn him. and so these days i try to learn from my grandfather’s example in my own way.so i just published a book about introversion, and it took me about seven years to write. and for me, that seven years was like total bliss, because i was reading, i was writing, i was thinking, i was researching. it was my version of my grandfather’s hours of the day alone in his library. but now all of a sudden my job is very different, and my job is to be out here talking about it, talking about introversion. (laughter) and that’s a lot harder for me, because as honored as i am to be here with all of you right now, this is not my natural milieu.so i prepared for moments like these as best i could. i spent the last year practicing public speaking every chance i could get. and i call this my year of speaking dangerously. (laughter) and that actually helped alot. but i’ll tell you, what h elps even more is my sense, my belief, my hope that when it es to our attitudes to introversion and to quiet and to solitude, we truly are poised on the brink on dramatic change. i mean, we are. and so i am going to leave you now with three calls for action for those who share this vision.number one: stop the madness for constant group work. just stop it. (laughter) thank you. (applause) and i want to be clear about what i’m saying, because i deeply believe our offices should be encouraging casual, chatty cafe-style types of interactions -- you know, the kind where people e together and serendipitously have an exchange of ideas. that is great. it’s great for introverts and it’s great for extroverts. but we need much more privacy and much more freedom and much more autonomy at work. school, same thing. we need to be teaching kids to work together, for sure, but we also need to be teaching them how to work on their own. this is especially important for extroverted children too. they need to work on their own because that is where deep thought es from in part.okay, number two: go to the wilderness. be like buddha, have your own revelations. i’m not saying that we all have to now go off and build our own cabins in the woods and never talk to each other again, but i am saying that we could all stand to unplug and get inside our own heads a little more often.number three: take a good look at what’s inside your own suitcase and why you put it there. so extroverts, maybe your suitcases are also full of b ooks. or maybe they’re full of champagne glasses or skyping equipment. whatever it is, i hope you take these things out every chance you get and grace us with your energy and your joy. but introverts, you being you, you probably have the impulse to guard v ery carefully what’s inside your own suitcase. and that’s okay. but occasionally, just occasionally, i hope you will open up your suitcases for other people to see, because theworld needs you and it needs the things you carry.so i wish you the best of all possible journeys and the courage to speak softly.thank you very much.(applause)thank you. thank you.。

英语演讲稿：内向性格的力量when i was nine years old i went off to summer camp for the first time. and my mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do. because in my family, reading was the primary group activity. and this might sound antisocial to you, but for us it was really just a different way of being social. you have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you, but you are also free to go roaming around the adventureland inside your own mind. and i had this idea that camp was going to be just like this, but better. i had a vision of 10 girls sitting in a cabin cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns.当我九岁的时候我第一次去参加夏令营我妈妈帮我整理好了我的行李箱里面塞满了书这对于我来说是一件极为自然的事情因为在我的家庭里阅读是主要的家庭活动听上去你们可能觉得我们是不爱交际的但是对于我的家庭来说这真的只是接触社会的另一种途径你们有自己家庭接触时的温暖亲情家人静坐在你身边但是你也可以自由地漫游在你思维深处的冒险乐园里我有一个想法野营会变得像这样子，当然要更好些我想象到十个女孩坐在一个小屋里都穿着合身的女式睡衣惬意地享受着读书的过程。

camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol. and on the very first day our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill camp spirit. and it went like this: “r-o-w-d-i-e, that's the way we spell rowdie. rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie.” yeah. so i couldn't figure out for the life of me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this word incorrectly. but i recited a cheer. i recited a cheer along with everybody else. i did my best. and i just waited for the time that i could go off and read my books.野营这时更像是一个不提供酒水的派对聚会在第一天的时候呢我们的顾问把我们都集合在一起并且她教会了我们一种今后要用到的庆祝方式在余下着续继样这像就它后之们我润浸”神精营露“让中天一每的营令夏r-o-w-d-i-e 这是我们拼写“吵闹”的口号我们唱着“噪音，喧闹，我们要变得吵一点”对，就是这样可我就是弄不明白我的生活会是什么样的为什么我们变得这么吵闹粗暴或者为什么我们非要把这个单词错误地拼写但是我可没有忘记庆祝。

我与每个人都互相欢呼庆祝了我尽了我最大的努力我只是想等待那一刻我可以离开吵闹的聚会去捧起我挚爱的书。

but the first time that i took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, “why are you being somellow?” -- mellow, of course, being the exact opposite of r-o-w-d-i-e. and then the second time i tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.但是当我第一次把书从行李箱中拿出来的时候床铺中最酷的那个女孩向我走了过来并且她问我：“为什么你要这么安静?”安静，当然，是r-o-w-d-i-e的反义词“喧闹”的反义词而当我第二次拿书的时候我们的顾问满脸忧虑的向我走了过来接着她重复了关于“露营精神”的要点并且说我们都应当努力去变得外向些and so i put my books away, back in their suitcase, and i put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. and i felt kind of guilty about this. i felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me and i was forsaking i did forsake them and i didn't open that suitcase again until i was back home with my family at the end of the summer.于是我放好我的书放回了属于它们的行李箱中并且我把它们放到了床底下在那里它们度过了暑假余下的每一天我对这样做感到很愧疚不知为什么我感觉这些书是需要我的它们在呼唤我，但是我却放弃了它们我确实放下了它们，并且我再也没有打开那个箱子，直到我和我的家人在夏末的时候一起回到家中。

now, i tell you this story about summer camp. i could have told you 50 others just like it --all the times that i got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of beingwas not necessarily the right way to go, that i should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert. and i always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were. but for years i denied this intuition, and so i became a wall street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that i had always longed to be -- partly because i needed to prove to myself that i could be bold and assertive too. and i was always going off to crowded bars when i really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. and i made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that i wasn't even aware that i was making them.现在，我向你们讲述这个夏令营的故事我完全可以给你们讲出其他50种版本就像这个一样的故事-- 每当我感觉到这样的时候它告诉我出于某种原因，我的宁静和内向的风格并不是正确道路上的必需品我应该更多地尝试一个外向者的角色而在我内心深处感觉得到，这是错误的内向的人们都是非常优秀的，确实是这样但是许多年来我都否认了这种直觉于是我首先成为了华尔街的一名律师而不是我长久以来想要成为的一名作家一部分原因是因为我想要证明自己也可以变得勇敢而坚定并且我总是去那些拥挤的酒吧当我只是想要和朋友们吃一顿愉快的晚餐时我做出了这些自我否认的抉择如条件反射一般甚至我都不清楚我做出了这些决定。

now this is what many introverts do, and it's our loss for sure, but it is also our colleagues' loss and our munities' loss. and at the risk of sounding grandiose, it is the world's loss. because when it es to creativity and to leadership, we need introverts doing what they do best.a third to a half of the population are introverts -- a third to a half. so that's one out of every two or three people you know. so even if you're an extrovert yourself, i'm talking about your coworkers and your spouses and your childrenand the person sitting next to you right now -- all of them subject to this bias that is pretty deep and real in our society. we all internalize it from a very early age without even having a language for what we're doing.这就是很多内向的人正在做的事情这当然是我们的损失但这同样也是同事们的损失我们所在团队集体的损失当然，冒着被指为夸大其词的风险我想说，更是世界的损失因为当涉及创造和领导的时候我们需要内向的人做到最好三分之一到二分之一的人都是内向的-- 三分之一到二分之一你要知道这可意味着每两到三个人中就有一个内向的所以即使你自己是一个外向的人我正在说你的同事和你的配偶和你的孩子还有现在正坐在你旁边的那个家伙-- 他们都要屈从于这样的偏见一种在我们的社会中已经扎根的现实偏见我们从很小的时候就把它藏在内心最深处甚至都不说几句话，关于我们正在做的事情。
