How to Shine in Life as an Introvert

Attention is the new currency — that’s what Gary Vee said all the time. The reality is, it’s not just about online marketing or business; this concept applies to virtually any aspects of life.

If you can easily become the centre of attention and without going through many struggles, you will go very far in life. And being an extrovert seems to have a significant edge in that.

They don’t seem to feel nervous approaching strangers; they are more energetic, charming and convincing when they speak. It feels like it’s their second nature to do public speaking or presentation, so they are bound to have more luck in their life, relationship and career.

Being an introvert myself, I used to feel myself being inferior to the extroverts. Sure, we introverts might be better listeners and thinkers, and also more observant.

So what?

We could have the best idea in the world, but what’s good if we struggle to voice out and share our thoughts with others?

So my original belief is, extroverts are going to take up all the spotlights. For introverts, the best bet is to work on their craft quietly, and maybe one day, someone will recognize their importance and effort.

Oh boy, that was a terrible thought. It couldn’t be any further from the truth.
