Susan Cain : The power of introverts

Susan Cain at TED2012
The power of introverts  (transcript)
Summary
Now, I understand that an opposite thing happens in Japan, so culturally, we need a balance to be created for creativity, productivity, and the power to solve the world problems.

The circumstances that the speaker grow was that extroverts were right and the style of being quiet and introverted was not necessary. She was said to work very hard to be outgoing and she felt guilty to have to leave books.  She thought that she was an introvert, but even an introvert could help something, so there was a prejudice even in schools and workplaces. It's that those institutions are designed for extroverts and there is a belief that creativity and productivity come from gregarious places.

However, the key is that each individual can show their all talents and you mean that only extroverts can show the power is that the world uses only half power. In the world, half must be introverts.

She tells us three suggestions to stop the situation. Stop to work with only groups. Introverts, even extroverts, need to work on their own. 1) A little more often, need time to get inside our own heads.  2) Show what you have. You who are introverts also have powers to be able to help the world. 3)
The world needs the things all we carry.

In Japan, the circumstances that we grow is that introverts are right. In the classes, workplaces, we have to work quietly and to agree with teachers, leaders, and older people.
For Japanese, stop to work alone and need time to discuss more must be important.
