TED英文演讲稿:内向性格的力量
hen i as nine ears old i ent off to summer amp for the first time. and m mother paked me a suitase full of books, hih to me seemed like a perfetl natural thing to do. beause in m famil, reading as the primar group ativit. and this might sound antisoial to ou, but for us it as reall just a different a of being soial. ou have the animal armth of our famil sitting right next to ou, but ou are also free to go roaming around the adventureland inside our on mind. and i had this idea that amp as going to be just like this, but better. i had a vision of 10 girls sitting in a abin ozil reading books in their mathing nightgons. amp as more like a keg part ithout an alohol. and on the ver first da our ounselor gathered us all together and she taught us a heer that she said e ould be doing ever da for the rest of the summer to instill amp spirit. and it ent like this: r-o--d-i-e, that s the a e spell rodie. rodie, rodie, let s get rodie. eah. so i ouldn t figure out for the life of me h e ere supposed to be so rod, or h e had to spell this ord inorretl. but i reited a heer. i reited a heer along ith everbod else. i did m best. and i just aited for the time that i ould go
off and read m books. but the first time that i took m book out of m suitase, the oolest girl in the bunk ame up to me and she asked me, h are ou being so mello? -- mello, of ourse, being the exat opposite of r-o--d-i-e. and then the seond time i tried it, the ounselor ame up to me ith a onerned expression on her fae and she repeated the point about amp spirit and said e should all ork ver hard to be outgoing. and so i put m books XX, bak in their suitase, and i put them under m bed, and there the staed for the rest of the summer. and i felt kind of guilt about this. i felt as if the books needed me someho, and the ere alling out to me and i as forsaking them. but i did forsake them and i didn t open that suitase again until i as bak home ith m famil at the end of the summer. no, i tell ou this stor about summer amp. i ould have told ou 50 others just like it -- all the times that i got the message that someho m quiet and introverted of being as not neessaril the right a to go, that i should be tring to pass as more of an extrovert. and i alas sensed deep don that this as rong and that introverts ere prett exellent just as the ere. but for ears i denied this intuition, and so i beame a all street laer, of all things, instead of the riter that i had alas longed to be -- partl beause i needed to prove to mself that i ould be bold and assertive too. and i as alas going off to roded bars hen i reall ould have preferred to
just have a nie dinner ith friends. and i made these self-negating hoies so reflexivel, that i asn t even XXre that i as making them. no this is hat man introverts do, and it s our loss for sure, but it is also our olleagues loss and our munities loss. and at the risk of sounding grandiose, it is the orld s loss. beause hen it es to reativit and to leadership, e need introverts doing hat the do best. a third to a half of the population are introverts -- a third to a half. so that s one out of ever to or three people ou kno. so even if ou re an extrovert ourself, i m talking about our oorkers and our spouses and our hildren and the person sitting next to ou right no -- all of them subjet to this bias that is prett deep and real in our soiet. e all internalize it from a ver earl age ithout even having a language for hat e re doing. no to see the bias learl ou need to understand hat introversion is. it s different from being sh. shness is about fear of soial judgment. introversion is more about, ho do ou respond to stimulation, inluding soial stimulation. so extroverts reall rave large amounts of stimulation, hereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most sithed-on and their most apable hen the re in quieter, more lo-ke environments. not all the time -- these things aren t absolute -- but a lot of the time. so the ke then to maximizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves
in the zone of stimulation that is right for us. but no here s here the bias es in. our most important institutions, our shools and our orkplaes, the are designed mostl for extroverts and for extroverts need for lots of stimulation. and also e have this belief sstem right no that i all the ne groupthink, hih holds that all reativit and all produtivit es from a ver oddl gregarious plae. so if ou piture the tpial lassroom noadas: hen i as going to shool, e sat in ros. e sat in ros of desks like this, and e did most of our ork prett autonomousl. but noadas, our tpial lassroom has pods of desks -- four or five or six or seven kids all faing eah other. and kids are orking in ountless group assignments. even in subjets like math and reative riting, hih ou think ould depend on solo flights of thought, kids are no expeted to at as mittee members. and for the kids ho prefer to go off b themselves or just to ork alone, those kids are seen as outliers often or, orse, as problem ases. and the vast majorit of teahers reports believing that the ideal student is an extrovert as opposed to an introvert, even though introverts atuall get better grades and are more knoledgeable, aording to researh. oka, same thing is true in our orkplaes. no, most of us ork in open plan offies, ithout alls, here e are subjet to the onstant noise and gaze of our oorkers. and hen it es to leadership, introverts are routinel passed over
for leadership positions, even though introverts tend to be ver areful, muh less likel to take outsize risks -- hih is something e might all favor noadas. and interesting researh b adam grant at the harton shool has found that introverted leaders often deliver better outes than extroverts do, beause hen the are managing proative emploees, the re muh more likel to let those emploees run ith their ideas, hereas an extrovert an, quite unittingl, get so exited about things that the re putting their on stamp on things, and other people s ideas might not as easil then bubble up to the surfae. no in fat, some of our transformative leaders in histor have been introverts. i ll give ou some examples. eleanor roosevelt, rosa parks, gandhi -- all these peopled desribed themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even sh. and the all took the spotlight, even though ever bone in their bodies as telling them not to. and this turns out to have a speial poer all its on, beause people ould feel that these leaders ere at the helm, not beause the enjoed direting others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at; the ere there beause the had no hoie, beause the ere driven to do hat the thought as right. no i think at this point it s important for me to sa that i atuall love extroverts. i alas like to sa some of m best friends are extroverts, inluding m beloved husband. and e all fall at different points, of ourse,
along the introvert/extrovert spetrum. even arl jung, the pshologist ho first popularized these terms, said that there s no suh thing as a pure introvert or a pure extrovert. he said that suh a man ould be in a lunati aslum, if he existed at all. and some people fall smak in the middle of the introvert/extrovert spetrum, and e all these people ambiverts. and i often think that the have the best of all orlds. but man of us do reognize ourselves as one tpe or the other. and hat i m saing is that ulturall e need a muh better balane. e need more of a in and ang beteen these to tpes. this is espeiall important hen it es to reativit and to produtivit, beause hen pshologists look at the lives of the most reative people, hat the find are people ho are ver good at exhanging ideas and advaning ideas, but ho also have a serious streak of introversion in them. and this is beause solitude is a ruial ingredient often to reativit. so darin, he took long alks alone in the oods and emphatiall turned don dinner part invitations. theodor geisel, better knon as dr. seuss, he dreamed up man of his amazing reations in a lonel bell toer offie that he had in the bak of his house in la jolla, alifornia. and he as atuall afraid to meet the oung hildren ho read his books for fear that the ere expeting him this kind of joll santa laus-like figure and ould be disappointed ith his more reserved persona. steve ozniak
invented the first apple puter sitting alone in his ubial in helett-pakard here he as orking at the time. and he sas that he never ould have bee suh an expert in the first plae had he not been too introverted to leave the house hen he as groing up. no of ourse, this does not mean that e should all stop ollaborating -- and ase in point, is steve ozniak famousl ing together ith steve jobs to start apple puter -- but it does mean that solitude matters and that for some people it is the air that the breathe. and in fat, e have knon for enturies about the transendent poer of solitude. it s onl reentl that e ve strangel begun to forget it. if ou look at most of the orld s major religions, ou ill find seekers -- moses, jesus, buddha, muhammad -- seekers ho are going off b themselves alone to the ilderness here the then have profound epiphanies and revelations that the then bring bak to the rest of the munit. so no ilderness, no revelations. this is no surprise though if ou look at the insights of ontemporar psholog. it turns out that e an t even be in a group of people ithout instintivel mirroring, mimiking their opinions. even about seemingl personal and viseral things like ho ou re attrated to, ou ill start aping the beliefs of the people around ou ithout even realizing that that s hat ou re doing. and groups famousl follo the opinions of the most dominant or harismati person in the room, even though there s zero orrelation
beteen being the best talker and having the best ideas -- i mean zero. so .
