There’s zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas.
Introverts… 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.

Push people beyond what’s
expected of them
With one goal in mind: Never to be laughed at again
I will never apologise for how I tried
There are no two words more harmful
than ‘good job’

In conclusion – let’s simplify.• Make your own way (and try to bring others with you)• Use the tools at your disposal (your employer has a duty to you)• Be true to yourself (have integrity, and respect for others)• Leave room to enjoy life outside the office (work to live)
The result:Happier, healthier, skilled testers!
