• Así que mantente fiel a tu propia naturaleza. Si te gusta hacer las cosas despacio y con calma, no dejes que los demás te hagan sentir que tienes que correr. Si te gusta la profundidad, no te obligues a buscar la amplitud. Si prefieres la monotarea a la multitarea, mantente firme. Ser relativamente indiferente a las recompensas te da un poder incalculable para seguir tu propio camino.

• La introversión -junto con sus primas la sensibilidad, la seriedad y la timidez- es ahora un rasgo de personalidad de segunda clase, a medio camino entre la decepción y la patología. Los introvertidos que viven en el Ideal Extrovertido son como mujeres en un mundo de hombres, descontados por un rasgo que va al núcleo de lo que son. La extroversión es un estilo de personalidad enormemente atractivo, pero lo hemos convertido en un estándar opresivo al que la mayoría de nosotros sentimos que debemos ajustarnos.

• Spend your free time the way you like, not the way you think you're supposed to. Stay home on New Year's Eve if that's what makes you happy. Skip the committee meeting. Cross the street to avoid making aimless chitchat with random acquaintances. Read. Cook. Run. Write a story. Make a deal with yourself that you'll attend a set number of social events in exchange for not feeling guilty when you beg off.

• Los introvertidos, por el contrario, pueden tener grandes habilidades sociales y disfrutar de fiestas y reuniones de negocios, pero al cabo de un rato desearían estar en casa en pijama. Prefieren dedicar sus energías sociales a amigos íntimos, colegas y familiares. Escuchan más que hablan, piensan antes de hablar y a menudo tienen la sensación de expresarse mejor por escrito que en una conversación. No les gustan los conflictos. Muchos tienen horror a las conversaciones triviales, pero disfrutan con las discusiones profundas.
