introvert

I am an extroverted person definitely. But sometimes I do like a person who has a introvert personality.

  Almost all the people in this society believe that having extrovert makes a person more likely to succeed. Since people all think that extrovert makes people have a better communication with more people and can help them to build a larger relationship group. As a consequence, in the future, people they know may help them to do something which they cannot finish by themselves. In addition, people have a deep-rooted thought that is people with extrovert are more likely to be optimistic and people who are introverted are always the people who have a high risk of suffering from depression.

  However, I think this is a really superficial idea. I once listened to a lecture given by a lawyer who works in the Wall Street. She is an introverted person who likes reading very much. In her childhood, she once took part in a summer camp. Every time she wanted to read books, there would always be someone appeared talking to her with great care. All the teachers in that camp kept telling children they should be rowdy which means they would be better if they establish their extroverted personality. From that, we can see how important it is in people’s minds even though it may not be as significant as people think. Her grandfather was also an introverted person but full of influence who was mourned by a huge number of people for his sagacity.

  From the instance above, we can find that introverted people can also be successful. Many celebrities in the world, such as Gandhi and Eleanor Roosevelt, leaders in the world, were introverted, so we can deny this fallacious thought. We should all admit the advantage introverted people have. When being a leader, they are more likely to encourage their crew to explain what they are thinking about. However, an extroverted leader is easy to be excited to the idea he comes up with so that he will always ignore some other ideas in some way. And we all know that sometimes being quiet can give us more time and more energy to think about one thing thoroughly by which we will make a decision more reasonable. And since teachers all think that extrovert is important, they always want to keep students in a group to strengthen the teamwork spirit which can make them communicate more and be more excited to talk to others. This can also lead to a bad consequence, that is it may make students think less because they depend on others more.

    In my opinion, no matter which kind of person we are, we all have some shining point that cannot be replaced by others. Both introvert and extrovert have their own advantages. We should admit the value and importance introverted people have. We also should acknowledge their power and potential for they can develop ability as well as extroverted people. Up to now, the opinion of these two things is not poised and that cause the discrimination in our mind. Just like sexual discrimination which we all admit it is wrong. So please change the scale in your mind. I can assert if we all change this viewpoint, our society will operate more efficiently.
