“As an introvert, you can be your own best friend or your worst enemy. The good news is we generally like our own company, a quality that extroverts often envy. We find comfort in solitude and know how to soothe ourselves. Even our willingness to look at ourselves critically is often helpful.

But, we can go too far. We can hoard responsibility and overlook the role others play. We can kick ourselves when we’re down. How many times have you felt lousy about something, only to get mad at yourself for feeling lousy?”
Laurie Helgoe, Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life Is Your Hidden Strength

“Sometimes we forget how important it is just to show up and take care of the good friendships that we have, or might like to have. Good friendships are hard to come by.”
Lik Hock Yap Ivan

“You can experience the same thing over and over again but how you feel about it will never be the same as the first.”
Lik Hock Yap Ivan

“If your job don't require you to cook, don't stir.”
Lik Hock Yap Ivan

“When an introvert cares about someone, she also wants contact, not so much to keep up with the events of the other person’s life, but to keep up with what’s inside: the evolution of ideas, values, thoughts, and feelings.”
Laurie Helgoe, Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life Is Your Hidden Strength
