“...the possibility of success was motivating me more than the fear of failure.”

“There are generally three kinds of people in the world. People who make things happen, people who watch things happen, and people who say, what in the heck happened.”

“It was a joke to the extent in the context of the views that speech.”

“The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.”

“Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.”

“Shyness is the fear of social disapproval or humiliation, while introversion is a preference for environments that are not overstimulating. Shyness is inherently painful; introversion is not.”
