but here's the thing about my grandfather. underneath this ceremonial role, he was really modest and really introverted -- so much so that when he delivered these sermons, he had trouble making eye contact with the very same congregation that he had been speaking to for 62 years. and even away from the podium, when you called him to say hello, he would often end the conversation prematurely for fear that he was taking up too much of your time. but when he died at the age of 94, the police had to close down the streets of his neighborhood to accommodate the crowd of people who came out to mourn him. and so these days i try to learn from my grandfather's example in my own way.

so i just published a book about introversion, and it took me about seven years to write. and for me, that seven years was like total bliss, because i was reading, i was writing, i was thinking, i was researching. it was my version of my grandfather's hours of the day alone in his library. but now all of a sudden my job is very different, and my job is to be out here talking about it, talking about introversion. (laughter) and that's a lot harder for me, because as honored as i am to be here with all of you right now, this is not my natural milieu.

so i prepared for moments like these as best i could. i spent the last year practicing public speaking every chance i could get. and i call this my “year of speaking dangerously.“ (laughter) and that actually helped a lot. but i'll tell you, what helps even more is my sense, my belief, my hope that when it comes to our attitudes to introversion and to quiet and to solitude, we truly are poised on the brink on dramatic change. i mean, we are. and so i am going to leave you now with three calls for action for those who share this vision.

now, i tell you this story about summer camp. i could have told you 50 others just like it -- all the times that i got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go, that i should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert. and i always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were. but for years i denied this intuition, and so i became a wall street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that i had always longed to be -- partly because i needed to prove to myself that i could be bold and assertive too. and i was always going off to crowded bars when i really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. and i made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that i wasn't even aware that i was making them.

now this is what many introverts do, and it's our loss for sure, but it is also our colleagues' loss and our communities' loss. and at the risk of sounding grandiose, it is the world's loss. because when it comes to creativity and to leadership, we need introverts doing what they do best. a third to a half of the population are introverts -- a third to a half. so that's one out of every two or three people you know. so even if you're an extrovert yourself, i'm talking about your coworkers and your spouses and your children and the person sitting next to you right now -- all of them subject to this bias that is pretty deep and real in our society. we all internalize it from a very early age without even having a language for what we're doing.

now to see the bias clearly you need to understand what introversion is. it's different from being shy. shyness is about fear of social judgment. introversion is more about, how do you respond to stimulation, including social stimulation. so extroverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most switched-on and their most capable when they're in quieter, more low-key environments. not all the time -- these things aren't absolute -- but a lot of the time. so the key then to maximizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves in the zone of stimulation that is right for us.

尊敬的领导：

朋友，你们读过玛格丽特·米切尔的著名长篇小说《飘》吗？这是一部长达百万字的宏伟巨著，我没有读过，但我读过《飘》的一本简读本，我还看过根据小说拍摄的电影《乱世佳人》。

我最喜欢的一句话，就出自小说的女主人公——“思嘉”之口，在小说的结尾时刻，面对即将破裂的婚姻，思嘉毫不气馁地说，“太阳每天都是新的！”

“太阳每天都是新的！”这句话说的多好呀！现实生活中，我们会遇到许许多多的困难与挫折，有学习上的烦恼，有与同学相处过程中产生的矛盾，有与爸爸、妈妈的感情冲突等等……面对种种考验，朋友们，请用这句话来激励我们自己吧，永远不要对人生感到失望。

不管困难有多大，任何时候，我们都要告诉自己，“太阳每天都是新的！”明天在向我们召唤，只要我们希望长在，经过艰苦不懈的努力之后，美好的生活就一定会到来的。

同学们：

大家好，我今天给大家讲一个故事叫：一面镜子

一个年轻人正值人生巅峰时却被查出患了白血病，无边无际的绝望一下子笼罩了他的心，他觉得生活已经没有任何意义了，拒绝接受任何治疗。

一个深秋的午后，他从医院里逃出来，漫无目的地在街上游荡。忽然，一阵略带嘶哑又异常豪迈的乐曲吸引了他。不远处，一位双目失明的老人正把弄着一件磨得发亮的乐器，向着寥落的人流动情地弹奏着。还有一点引人注目的是，盲人的怀中挂着一面镜子!

年轻人好奇地上前，趁盲人一曲弹奏完毕时问道：“对不起，打扰了，请问这镜子是你的吗?”

“是的，我的乐器和镜子是我的两件宝贝!音乐是世界上最美好的东西，我常常靠这个自娱自乐，可以感到生活是多么的美好...”

“可这面镜子对你有什么意义呢?”他迫不及待地问。

盲人微微一笑，说：“我希望有一天出现奇迹，并且也相信有朝一日我能用这面镜子看见自己的脸，因此不管到哪儿，不管什么时候我都带着它。”

白血病患者的心一下子被震撼了：一个盲人尚且如此热爱生活，而我...他突然彻悟了，又坦然地回到医院接受治疗，尽管每次化疗他都会感受到死去活来的痛楚，但从那以后他再也没有逃跑过。

他坚强地忍受痛苦的治疗，终于出现了奇迹，他恢复了健康。从此，他也拥有了人生弥足珍贵的两件宝贝：积极乐观的心态和屹立不倒的信念。

想把握好自己的人生和命运的人，一定要有乐观和坚强的品质，因为乐观和坚强是掌管人生航向的舵手，是把握命运之船的动力桨。

尊敬的有着共同教育理想的同仁们：

大家好!

天下兴亡我的责任，这是台湾一位校长对他学生的训言，也成了指导我做好班级管理，培养学生自主、负责的工作航标。

在座的也许有校长、科长、主任，我们通常把你们称为“官”。其实官就是一个岗位，官就意味着责任。我也是一个“官”，世界上最小的“官”——班主任。我班上的所有孩子也都是“官”：锁长、帘长、师长。五花八门，种类怪异。你也许会问，有那么多职位吗?这是一些什么官?我告诉大家，“帘长”——是负责管理窗帘的岗位;“锁长”——负责开门、关门的小官......在我班上，人人有官做，事事有人管。

这些岗位，这些官，是孩子们自己申请担任的。孩子发现班上的图书需要有人管理，就可以申请当“管长”，发现地上有纸屑就可以申请当“捡搽长”。无论什么事情，只要孩子发现，就可以自告奋勇地申请“一官半职”，主动为班级服务。

干部是什么?干部就岗位，干部就是责任，干部就是锻炼学生的一个平台。既然如此，何不把这个平台给每个学生，让其明白是我的责任。

班上有个孩子叫刘念，性格内向，同桌戏称他“绵花虫”，做事有点慢的，爱干净怕脏。一天，他发现垃圾桶周围总是不干净，就认领了一个“官位”——卫生员，也有孩子笑称他“桶长”。专门管理那块地的清洁。每当一下课，我们总能看到他在那里或监督或打扫。这个8岁的孩子在日记本上写着：“我是班上的卫生员，我要把那块地打扫得很干净。可妈妈说我这样累，容易弄脏自己，干脆不做卫生员了。这怎么可以，妈妈哪懂我的心，这卫生员是老师对我的信任，是班级给我的`荣誉，是我的责任!”

好一个“我的责任”，他用行动诠释了这个官的内涵， “棉花虫”改变了摸样!

一段时间后，班里孩子明白了：上课认真听讲，是我的责任;勤俭节约，是我的责任;不乱丢乱扔，是我的责任;升旗时唱好国歌，是我的责任……一切事情都是我的责任。

是的，如果天下事，事事是我责，那我们的国家怎不兴旺，我们的民族怎不复兴!把孩子培养成有责任的人，也是我的责任。朋友们，让我们大声告诉孩子：天下兴亡我的责任!
