Sa isang kultura na kung saan ang pakikipagkapwa at pagkadaldal ay mas kinilala kaysa ibang bagay, pwede ngang maging mahirap, o maging kahiya-hiya, para sa isang introvert. Pero sa pagtalakay ni Susan Cain dito sa kanyang talumpati, ang mga introverts ay marapat lamang na himukin lalo at kilalanin.

When I was nine years old
0
0
2000
Nung ako'y siyam na taong gulang
00:17
I went off to summer camp for the first time.
1
2000
2000
Sumama ako sa isang summer camp.
00:19
And my mother packed me a suitcase
2
4000
2000
At inimpake ng aking ina ang isang maletang
00:21
full of books,
3
6000
2000
punong-puno ng libro,
00:23
which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do.
4
8000
2000
na para sa akin ay pawang natural lamang na gawin.
00:25
Because in my family,
5
10000
2000
Dahil sa aming pamilya,
00:27
reading was the primary group activity.
6
12000
3000
ang pagbabasa ay isang pangunahing gawain.
00:30
And this might sound antisocial to you,
7
15000
2000
Siguro ay sa tingin n'yo na kami'y mapag-isa
00:32
but for us it was really just a different way of being social.
8
17000
3000
ngunit para sa amin, iba lang itong paraan sa pakikipagkapwa.
00:35
You have the animal warmth of your family
9
20000
2000
May mainit na awra ng iyong pamilya
00:37
sitting right next to you,
10
22000
2000
nasa tabi mo,
00:39
but you are also free to go roaming around the adventureland
11
24000
2000
pero ikaw rin ay malayang malakbay sa mga adventureland
00:41
inside your own mind.
12
26000
2000
ng iyong utak mo.
00:43
And I had this idea
13
28000
2000
At sa tingin ko
00:45
that camp was going to be just like this, but better.
14
30000
2000
na maging ganito ang aking karanasan sa camp, pero mas maganda pala.
00:47
(Laughter)
15
32000
3000
(Tawanan)
00:50
I had a vision of 10 girls sitting in a cabin
16
35000
3000
Ini-imagine ko na mayroong sampung babaing umu-upo sa loob ng kabina
00:53
cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns.
17
38000
2000
na komportabling nagbabasa ng mga libro sa kanilang damit pantulog.
00:55
(Laughter)
18
40000
2000
(Tawanan)
00:57
Camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol.
19
42000
3000
Ang isang camp ay para na ring inuman na walang alak.
01:00
And on the very first day
20
45000
3000
At sa unang araw
01:03
our counselor gathered us all together
21
48000
2000
kami ay tinipon ng aming counselor
01:05
and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing
22
50000
2000
at tinuruan niya kami ng isang cheer na gawin daw namin
01:07
every day for the rest of the summer
23
52000
2000
bawat nalalabing araw ng summer
01:09
to instill camp spirit.
24
54000
2000
para makintal ang diwa ng camp.
01:11
And it went like this:
25
56000
2000
Ganito yun nangyari:
01:13
"R-O-W-D-I-E,
26
58000
2000
"R-O-W-D-I-E,
01:15
that's the way we spell rowdie.
27
60000
2000
ganyan namin binaybay and rowdie.
01:17
Rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie."
28
62000
3000
Rowdie, rowdie, tara na mag-rowdie."
01:22
Yeah.
29
67000
2000
Yeah.
01:24
So I couldn't figure out for the life of me
30
69000
2000
Hindi ko matanto sa aking buhay
01:26
why we were supposed to be so rowdy,
31
71000
2000
at kung bakit dapat
01:28
or why we had to spell this word incorrectly.
32
73000
3000
o bakit ibahin pagkabaybay ang salita.
01:31
(Laughter)
33
76000
6000
(Tawanan)
01:37
But I recited a cheer. I recited a cheer along with everybody else.
34
82000
3000
Pero ni-recite ko pa rin ang cheer. Sabay akong bumigkas sa lahat.
01:40
I did my best.
35
85000
2000
Ginawa ko ang lahat ng aking makakaya.
01:42
And I just waited for the time
36
87000
2000
At hinintay ko lang ang tamang oras
01:44
that I could go off and read my books.
37
89000
3000
na ako'y lumiban at magbasa ng aking mga libro.
01:47
But the first time that I took my book out of my suitcase,
38
92000
2000
Ngunit nang una kung kumuha ng aklat sa aking maleta,
01:49
the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me
39
94000
2000
ang pinaka-cool na babae ay tumungo sa akin
01:51
and she asked me, "Why are you being so mellow?" --
40
96000
3000
at nagtanong, "Bakit ka napaka-malungkutin?" --
01:54
mellow, of course, being the exact opposite
41
99000
2000
malungkot, ay talagang pagiging kasalungat
01:56
of R-O-W-D-I-E.
42
101000
2000
ng R-O-W-D-I-E.
01:58
And then the second time I tried it,
43
103000
2000
At sa pangalawang pagkataong ako'y sumubok,
02:00
the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face
44
105000
3000
ang counselor ay dumating na may pagkakabahala sa kanyang mukha
02:03
and she repeated the point about camp spirit
45
108000
2000
at pinaaalahanan niya ako sa diwa ng camp
02:05
and said we should all work very hard
46
110000
2000
at dapat kaming magsikap ng maiigi
02:07
to be outgoing.
47
112000
2000
para makihalubilo sa iba.
02:09
And so I put my books away,
48
114000
3000
At inilayo ko na lang ang mga aklat,
02:12
back in their suitcase,
49
117000
3000
balik sa maleta,
02:15
and I put them under my bed,
50
120000
4000
at inilagay ko sa ilalim ng higaan,
02:19
and there they stayed for the rest of the summer.
51
124000
2000
at doon na sila hanggang sa huli ng summer.
02:21
And I felt kind of guilty about this.
52
126000
2000
At nakonsyensya ako sa ginawa kong ito.
02:23
I felt as if the books needed me somehow,
53
128000
2000
Sa tingin ko'y kinailangan ako ng aking libro,
02:25
and they were calling out to me and I was forsaking them.
54
130000
3000
nagtatawag sila sa akin ngunit sila'y aking tinalikdan.
02:28
But I did forsake them and I didn't open that suitcase again
55
133000
2000
Tinalikdan ko nga sila at di ko na binuksan and maleta
02:30
until I was back home with my family
56
135000
2000
hanggang sa akoy nakabalik sa amin
02:32
at the end of the summer.
57
137000
2000
sa katapusan ng summer.
02:34
Now, I tell you this story about summer camp.
58
139000
3000
At ngayong aking sinalaysay itong estorya hinggil sa isang summer camp.
02:37
I could have told you 50 others just like it --
59
142000
3000
May limampung kwento pa akong maaring ikwento --
02:40
all the times that I got the message
60
145000
2000
lahat ng panahong makatanggap ako ng mensahe
02:42
that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being
61
147000
4000
na kahit papaano, ang aking tahimik at pagiging introvert
02:46
was not necessarily the right way to go,
62
151000
2000
ay hindi ang ang talagang pinakatama
02:48
that I should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert.
63
153000
3000
at dapat ipag-paigi ko na maging mas extrovert.
02:51
And I always sensed deep down that this was wrong
64
156000
3000
At palaging kong inisisip na ito'y mali
02:54
and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were.
65
159000
2000
at ang mga introverts ay napakahusay sa pagiging sila.
02:56
But for years I denied this intuition,
66
161000
3000
Pero sa mga nakalipas na panahon ay tinanggihan ko itong intuwisyon,
02:59
and so I became a Wall Street lawyer, of all things,
67
164000
3000
at ako nga ay naging abogada ng Wall Street, sa lahat ng bagay,
03:02
instead of the writer that I had always longed to be --
68
167000
3000
sa halip ng pagiging manunulat na siyang aking pinangarap --
03:05
partly because I needed to prove to myself
69
170000
2000
siguro ay dahil gusto kong patunayan sa aking sarili
03:07
that I could be bold and assertive too.
70
172000
2000
na ako ay maaring maging matapang at asertib rin.
03:09
And I was always going off to crowded bars
71
174000
2000
At palagi na akong lumalabas sa mga nagsisiksikang bar
03:11
when I really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends.
72
176000
3000
kahit na mas gusto ko talagang magkaroon na lamang ng dinner sa mga kaibigan.
03:14
And I made these self-negating choices
73
179000
3000
At ginawa ko itong mga self-negating choices
03:17
so reflexively,
74
182000
2000
na napaka-refexive,
03:19
that I wasn't even aware that I was making them.
75
184000
3000
na hindi ko namalayang ginagawa ko sila.
03:22
Now this is what many introverts do,
76
187000
2000
Ngayon ito ang ginagawa ng mga introverts,
03:24
and it's our loss for sure,
77
189000
2000
at ito ay para bang ang aming kalugian,
03:26
but it is also our colleagues' loss
78
191000
2000
pero ito rin ay kalugian ng aming mga kasama
03:28
and our communities' loss.
79
193000
2000
at kalugian nating komunidad.
03:30
And at the risk of sounding grandiose, it is the world's loss.
80
195000
3000
At sa risgo ng matunog na kadakilaan, ito ay kawalan ng ating daigdig.
03:33
Because when it comes to creativity and to leadership,
81
198000
3000
Dahil kung ang pag-uusapan natin ay pagiging malikhain at pamumuno,
03:36
we need introverts doing what they do best.
82
201000
3000
kinakailangan natin ang mga introverts gumawa kung ano sila pinakamahusay.
03:39
A third to a half of the population are introverts --
83
204000
2000
Isa sa tatlo o hanggang sa kalahati ng ating populasyon ay mga introverts --
03:41
a third to a half.
84
206000
2000
isa sa tatlo o hanggang kalahati.
03:43
So that's one out of every two or three people you know.
85
208000
3000
Lumalabas na merong isa sa bawat dalawa o tatlo kataong kilala mo.
03:46
So even if you're an extrovert yourself,
86
211000
3000
Kung ikaw ay isang extrovert,
03:49
I'm talking about your coworkers
87
214000
2000
ako ay nangungusap hinggil sa inyong mga katrabaho,
03:51
and your spouses and your children
88
216000
2000
at inyong mga asawa at mga anak.
03:53
and the person sitting next to you right now --
89
218000
3000
at ang taong naka-upo katabi mo --
03:56
all of them subject to this bias
90
221000
2000
lahat sila ay saklaw sa bias na ito
03:58
that is pretty deep and real in our society.
91
223000
2000
iyan ay napakatotoo sa ating lipunan.
04:00
We all internalize it from a very early age
92
225000
3000
Nasa sarili na natin ito sa murang edad
04:03
without even having a language for what we're doing.
93
228000
3000
nang walang pangalang maitawag kung ano ang ginagawa natin.
04:06
Now to see the bias clearly
94
231000
2000
Ngayon, para makita natin ang bias nang maigi
04:08
you need to understand what introversion is.
95
233000
3000
ating alamin kung ano ba talaga ang introbersiyon.
04:11
It's different from being shy.
96
236000
2000
Iba ito sa pagiging mahiyain.
04:13
Shyness is about fear of social judgment.
97
238000
2000
Ang pagkamahiyain ay hingil sa takot ng puna sa lipunan.
04:15
Introversion is more about,
98
240000
2000
Ang introbersiyon ay higit pa tungkol sa
04:17
how do you respond to stimulation,
99
242000
2000
paano ka tumugon sa estimyolasyon,
04:19
including social stimulation.
100
244000
2000
kasama na ang sa panlipunang paksa.
04:21
So extroverts really crave large amounts of stimulation,
101
246000
3000
Sinasabik ng mga extroverts ang maraming estimolasyon,
04:24
whereas introverts feel at their most alive
102
249000
2000
samantalang ang mga introverts ay pinaka-buhay
04:26
and their most switched-on and their most capable
103
251000
2000
at pinaka-gising at pinaka-mahusay
04:28
when they're in quieter, more low-key environments.
104
253000
2000
kung sila ay nasa mas tahimik na lugar.
04:30
Not all the time -- these things aren't absolute --
105
255000
2000
Hindi sa lahat ng panahon --ang mga bagay na ito'y hindi lubos --
04:32
but a lot of the time.
106
257000
2000
pero sa halos lahat ng panahon.
04:34
So the key then
107
259000
2000
Kung gayon, ang sagot
04:36
to maximizing our talents
108
261000
3000
para mapalawak natin ang ating mga talento
04:39
is for us all to put ourselves
109
264000
2000
ay para tayong ipagka-isa
04:41
in the zone of stimulation that is right for us.
110
266000
3000
sa estimulasyong bagay sa ating lahat.
04:44
But now here's where the bias comes in.
111
269000
2000
Pero dito na lumalabas ang bia.
04:46
Our most important institutions,
112
271000
2000
Sa ating mga pinaka-importanting institusyon,
04:48
our schools and our workplaces,
113
273000
2000
ang ating mga paaralan at pinagtatrabahuan,
04:50
they are designed mostly for extroverts
114
275000
2000
sila ay dinesenyo sa halos ng lahat ng bagay para sa mga extrovert
04:52
and for extroverts' need for lots of stimulation.
115
277000
3000
at tugon para sa estimulasyong hinahangad ng mga extrovert.
04:55
And also we have this belief system right now
116
280000
4000
At nariyan din ang ating paniniwala
04:59
that I call the new groupthink,
117
284000
2000
na tinatawag kong "groupthink",
05:01
which holds that all creativity and all productivity
118
286000
3000
na nagsasabong ang pagkamalikhain at pagkaproduktibo
05:04
comes from a very oddly gregarious place.
119
289000
4000
ay manggagaling sa kakaibang lugar na naglalayong sayo na makisama.
05:09
So if you picture the typical classroom nowadays:
120
294000
2000
Kung iisipin mo ang tipikal na silid-aralan ngayon:
05:11
When I was going to school,
121
296000
2000
Nung ako'y nag-aaral,
05:13
we sat in rows.
122
298000
2000
umupo kami nang nakahanay.
05:15
We sat in rows of desks like this,
123
300000
2000
Nakaupo kami sa hanay ng upuno nang ganito,
05:17
and we did most of our work pretty autonomously.
124
302000
2000
at ginagawa namin ang bagay-bagay nang mag-isa.
05:19
But nowadays, your typical classroom
125
304000
2000
Pero, ngayon, ang tipikal na silid
05:21
has pods of desks --
126
306000
2000
ay may lupon ng mga mesa --
05:23
four or five or six or seven kids all facing each other.
127
308000
3000
apat o lima o anim o pitong mga bata ay naghaharap sa isa't isa.
05:26
And kids are working in countless group assignments.
128
311000
2000
At gumagawa ang mga bata ng walang hanggang group assignments.
05:28
Even in subjects like math and creative writing,
129
313000
3000
Kahit na sa asignaturang math at pagsusulat,
05:31
which you think would depend on solo flights of thought,
130
316000
3000
na kung iisipin mo ay nagdepende talaga sa sariling pag-iisip,
05:34
kids are now expected to act as committee members.
131
319000
4000
ang mga bata ngayon ay inaasahang maging miyembro ng komite.
05:38
And for the kids who prefer
132
323000
2000
At sa mga batang mas gusto
05:40
to go off by themselves or just to work alone,
133
325000
2000
na magtungo sa sarili nila o gumawa ng mag-isa,
05:42
those kids are seen as outliers often
134
327000
2000
yung mga bata na parang hindi kasali
05:44
or, worse, as problem cases.
135
329000
2000
o, mas malala pa.
05:48
And the vast majority of teachers reports believing
136
333000
3000
Halos lahat ng mga guro ay naniniwala
05:51
that the ideal student is an extrovert
137
336000
2000
na ang pinaka-ulirang estudyante ay isang extrovert
05:53
as opposed to an introvert,
138
338000
2000
at hindi ang introvert,
05:55
even though introverts actually get better grades
139
340000
2000
gayong ang mga introvert naman talaga ang nakakakuha ng mas mataas na marka
05:57
and are more knowledgeable,
140
342000
2000
at mas may alam,
05:59
according to research.
141
344000
2000
ayon sa isang pagsaliksik.
06:01
(Laughter)
142
346000
2000
(Tawanan)
06:03
Okay, same thing is true in our workplaces.
143
348000
3000
Okay, iyan ay pareho sa ating pinagtatrabahuan.
06:06
Now, most of us work in open plan offices,
144
351000
3000
Ngayon, halos lahat natin ay nagtatrabaho sa lantarang opisina,
06:09
without walls,
145
354000
2000
walang dingding,
06:11
where we are subject
146
356000
2000
tayong lahat ay nakasaklaw
06:13
to the constant noise and gaze of our coworkers.
147
358000
2000
sa mga ingay at titig ng ating mga katrabaho.
06:15
And when it comes to leadership,
148
360000
2000
At pagdating sa pamumuno,
06:17
introverts are routinely passed over for leadership positions,
149
362000
2000
ang mga introverts ay regular na napapabayaan sa mga namumunong posisyon,
06:19
even though introverts tend to be very careful,
150
364000
2000
kahit na ang mga introvert ay napakamaingat,
06:21
much less likely to take outsize risks --
151
366000
2000
at mas nag-iingat sa mga risgo --
06:23
which is something we might all favor nowadays.
152
368000
4000
na isang bagay na maaring pabor tayong lahat sa kasalukuyan.
06:27
And interesting research by Adam Grant at the Wharton School
153
372000
3000
Isang interesanting pananaliksik ni Adam Grant sa Wharton School
06:30
has found that introverted leaders
154
375000
2000
ang nakatukoy na ang mga pinunong introvert
06:32
often deliver better outcomes than extroverts do,
155
377000
2000
ay madalas nakakagawa ng mas mabuti kaysa mga extrovert.
06:34
because when they are managing proactive employees,
156
379000
3000
dahil kung sila'y nangungulo ng mga proactib na empleyado,
06:37
they're much more likely to let those employees run with their ideas,
157
382000
3000
madalas ay hinahayaan nila ang mga ito na ipatuloy ang kanilang mga ideya,
06:40
whereas an extrovert can, quite unwittingly,
158
385000
2000
samantalng ang mga extrovert ay, nang hindi sinasadya,
06:42
get so excited about things
159
387000
2000
nagiging mas na-eeksayt sa mga bagay
06:44
that they're putting their own stamp on things,
160
389000
2000
na sila na lang ang gumagawa sa lahat ng bagay,
06:46
and other people's ideas might not as easily then
161
391000
2000
at mga ideya ng ilan ay mahihirapang
06:48
bubble up to the surface.
162
393000
3000
umusbong.
06:51
Now in fact, some of our transformative leaders in history have been introverts.
163
396000
3000
Sa katunayan, ilan sa mga lider na nagpabago ng ating daigdig ay introvert.
06:54
I'll give you some examples.
164
399000
2000
Magbibigay ako ng mga halimbawa.
06:56
Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Gandhi --
165
401000
3000
Eleonor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Gandhi --
06:59
all these peopled described themselves
166
404000
2000
lahat sila ay nagsasabing mga introvert
07:01
as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy.
167
406000
3000
na napakatahimik at mahinang magsalita at maging mahiyain.
07:04
And they all took the spotlight,
168
409000
2000
At silang lahat ay naging tanyag,
07:06
even though every bone in their bodies
169
411000
2000
kahit na bawat buto sa kanilang katawan
07:08
was telling them not to.
170
413000
3000
ay pumipigil nito.
07:11
And this turns out to have a special power all its own,
171
416000
2000
At ito ay nagpapahiwatig nang pagiging pagkakaroon ng kapangyarihan sa panarili,
07:13
because people could feel that these leaders were at the helm,
172
418000
3000
dahil ang mga tao ay nakaramdam na sila ang nasa timon,
07:16
not because they enjoyed directing others
173
421000
2000
hindi dahil gusto nila ang ang mangulo sa iba
07:18
and not out of the pleasure of being looked at;
174
423000
2000
at hindi dahil sa kagustuhan nilang mapansin;
07:20
they were there because they had no choice,
175
425000
2000
nadun sila dahil wala silang ibang mapilian,
07:22
because they were driven to do what they thought was right.
176
427000
3000
dahil sila ay ginagabayang gawin ang sa tingin nila ay tamang gawin.
07:26
Now I think at this point it's important for me to say
177
431000
3000
Nagyon, naisip kong importanting masabi sa inyo
07:29
that I actually love extroverts.
178
434000
3000
na gusto ko talaga ang mga extrovert.
07:32
I always like to say some of my best friends are extroverts,
179
437000
3000
Gusto ko talagang sa isang taong na ang pinakamatalik niyang kaibigan ay isang extrovert,
07:35
including my beloved husband.
180
440000
2000
pati na ang pinakamahal kong asawa.
07:39
And we all fall at different points, of course,
181
444000
2000
At tayo ay sakop ng iba't ibang saklaw,
07:41
along the introvert/extrovert spectrum.
182
446000
3000
sa espektro ng pagiging introvert/extrovert.
07:44
Even Carl Jung, the psychologist who first popularized these terms, said
183
449000
3000
Kahit na si Carl Jung, na nagpasikat sa mga terminong yaun, ay nagsasabi
07:47
that there's no such thing as a pure introvert
184
452000
2000
na wala naman talang puro na introvert
07:49
or a pure extrovert.
185
454000
2000
o puro na ectrovert.
07:51
He said that such a man would be in a lunatic asylum,
186
456000
2000
Sabi pa niya na ang taong iyan ay maaring nasa asilo ng mga baliw,
07:53
if he existed at all.
187
458000
3000
kung nabubuhay man siya.
07:56
And some people fall smack in the middle
188
461000
2000
At may mga taong nasasaklaw sa gitna
07:58
of the introvert/extrovert spectrum,
189
463000
2000
ng pagiging introvert/extrovert,
08:00
and we call these people ambiverts.
190
465000
2000
at tinanawag natin silang ambiverts.
08:02
And I often think that they have the best of all worlds.
191
467000
3000
At madals kong iniisip na nasa kanila ang pinakamabuti sa mundo.
08:06
But many of us do recognize ourselves as one type or the other.
192
471000
3000
Pero maarami sa atin ay kinikilala ang sarili sa isang tipo laban sa isa.
08:09
And what I'm saying is that culturally we need a much better balance.
193
474000
3000
At ang gusto kong sabihin ay kinakailangan natin na mas angkop na balanse.
08:12
We need more of a yin and yang
194
477000
2000
Kinakailangan natin ng yin at yang
08:14
between these two types.
195
479000
2000
sa dalawang tipo.
08:16
This is especially important
196
481000
2000
Ito ay napaka-importante
08:18
when it comes to creativity and to productivity,
197
483000
2000
lalo na sa pagiging pagkamalikhain at pagiging produktibo,
08:20
because when psychologists look
198
485000
2000
dahil sa tingin ng mga sikologo
08:22
at the lives of the most creative people,
199
487000
2000
sa mga buhay ng mga pinakamalikhaing tao,
08:24
what they find
200
489000
2000
nakita nila
08:26
are people who are very good at exchanging ideas
201
491000
2000
na ang mga taong magaling sa pakikipagpalitan ng mga ideya
08:28
and advancing ideas,
202
493000
2000
at pagsulong ng mga ito,
08:30
but who also have a serious streak of introversion in them.
203
495000
3000
pero sila din yun may malaking bahagi ng introbersyon sa kanila.
08:33
And this is because solitude is a crucial ingredient often
204
498000
2000
At ito ay dahil ang pag-iisa ay madalas importanteng sangkap
08:35
to creativity.
205
500000
2000
sa pagiging malikhain.
08:37
So Darwin,
206
502000
2000
Kaya si Darwin,
08:39
he took long walks alone in the woods
207
504000
2000
naglakad siya nang mag-isa sa gubat
08:41
and emphatically turned down dinner party invitations.
208
506000
3000
at mariing tinanggihan ang imbitasyon sa salu-salo,
08:44
Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss,
209
509000
3000
Theodor Geisel, mas kilala sa bansag na Dr. Seuss,
08:47
he dreamed up many of his amazing creations
210
512000
2000
naisip niya ang karamihan sa kanyang mga nakakamanghang ginawa
08:49
in a lonely bell tower office that he had
211
514000
2000
sa isang malungkot na silid sa isang tore ng kampana
08:51
in the back of his house in La Jolla, California.
212
516000
3000
sa likod ng kanyang bahay sa La Jolla, California.
08:54
And he was actually afraid to meet
213
519000
2000
At siya ay talagang takot na makatagpo
08:56
the young children who read his books
214
521000
2000
ang mga bata na nagbabasa ng kanyang libro
08:58
for fear that they were expecting him
215
523000
2000
dahil sa takot na silay umaasa sa kanya
09:00
this kind of jolly Santa Claus-like figure
216
525000
2000
na isang masayahing anyo na Santa Claus
09:02
and would be disappointed with his more reserved persona.
217
527000
4000
at maari pa silang mabigo sa kanyang mas tahimik na persona.
09:06
Steve Wozniak invented the first Apple computer
218
531000
2000
Si Steve Wozniak na siyang nakaimbento sa kauna-unahang Apple computer
09:08
sitting alone in his cubical
219
533000
2000
na nakaupong mag-isa sa kanyang kubiko
09:10
in Hewlett-Packard where he was working at the time.
220
535000
2000
sa Hewlett-Packard kung saan siya nagtrabaho noon.
09:12
And he says that he never would have become such an expert in the first place
221
537000
3000
At sinabi niya na hindi sana siya maging eksperto sa unang pagkakataon
09:15
had he not been too introverted to leave the house
222
540000
3000
kung hindi siya naging introvert para lisanin ang bahay nila
09:18
when he was growing up.
223
543000
2000
nung siya ay lumalaki.
09:20
Now of course,
224
545000
3000
Siyempre ngayon,
09:23
this does not mean that we should all stop collaborating --
225
548000
3000
hindi naman ito nangangahulugang titigil tayo sa pakikipagtulungan --
09:26
and case in point, is Steve Wozniak famously coming together with Steve Jobs
226
551000
3000
at sa puntong iyan, ay si Steve Wozniak ay kilalang nakikipagtambal kay Steve Jobs
09:29
to start Apple Computer --
227
554000
3000
para umpisahan ang Apple Computer --
09:32
but it does mean that solitude matters
228
557000
3000
pero nangangahulugan lamang iyan na ang pagiging mapag-isa ay mahalaga
09:35
and that for some people
229
560000
2000
at para sa ibang tao
09:37
it is the air that they breathe.
230
562000
2000
ito ay ang hangin na ating hinihinga.
09:39
And in fact, we have known for centuries
231
564000
3000
At sa katunayan, alam natin sa nakalipas na siglo
09:42
about the transcendent power of solitude.
232
567000
3000
hinggil sa transedenting kapangyarihan ng pag-iisa.
09:45
It's only recently that we've strangely begun to forget it.
233
570000
3000
Ngayon lang tila natin nalilimutan ito.
09:48
If you look at most of the world's major religions,
234
573000
3000
Kung papansinin ninyo sa karamihan ng malalaking relihiyon sa daigdig,
09:51
you will find seekers --
235
576000
2000
sa mga naghahanap --
09:53
Moses, Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad --
236
578000
3000
Moses, Hesus, Buddha, Muhammad --
09:56
seekers who are going off by themselves
237
581000
2000
sila ay nagtungong mag-isa
09:58
alone to the wilderness
238
583000
2000
sa kaparangan
10:00
where they then have profound epiphanies and revelations
239
585000
2000
na kung saan masiwalat nila ang mga malalim na epipanya at rebelasyon
10:02
that they then bring back to the rest of the community.
240
587000
3000
at tutungo na sila pabalik sa komunidad.
10:05
So no wilderness, no revelations.
241
590000
4000
Gayong walang kaparangan, walang rebelasyon.
10:09
This is no surprise though
242
594000
2000
Ngunit hindi na rin nakakagulat
10:11
if you look at the insights of contemporary psychology.
243
596000
3000
ang mga pananaw ng kontemporaryong sikologo.
10:14
It turns out that we can't even be in a group of people
244
599000
3000
Nangyari na hindi tayo naroon sa isang grupo
10:17
without instinctively mirroring, mimicking their opinions.
245
602000
3000
nang walang pangungopya sa kanilang pananaw.
10:20
Even about seemingly personal and visceral things
246
605000
2000
Kahat sa mga bagay na personal at pansarili
10:22
like who you're attracted to,
247
607000
2000
gaya ng kanino ka nagkagusto,
10:24
you will start aping the beliefs of the people around you
248
609000
3000
natutunan mong gumaya sa mga kuro-kuro ng mga tao sa paligid mo
10:27
without even realizing that that's what you're doing.
249
612000
2000
kahit na hindi mo namalayan na ginagawa mo pala ito.
10:29
And groups famously follow the opinions
250
614000
3000
At sa grupo kinikilala ang opinyon
10:32
of the most dominant or charismatic person in the room,
251
617000
2000
ng pinaka-dominate o karimateko sa lahat,
10:34
even though there's zero correlation
252
619000
2000
kahit na wala naman talagang kaugnayan
10:36
between being the best talker and having the best ideas --
253
621000
3000
sa pagitan ng pagiging pinakamabuting mananalita at sa taong mayroong pinakamagandang ideya --
10:39
I mean zero.
254
624000
2000
Ang ibig kong sabihin ay walang wala.
10:41
So ...
255
626000
2000
Kaya ...
10:43
(Laughter)
256
628000
2000
(Tawanan)
10:45
You might be following the person with the best ideas,
257
630000
3000
Maaring ika'y taga-sunod ng taong may pinakamagandang ideya,
10:48
but you might not.
258
633000
2000
o maaring hindi.
10:50
And do you really want to leave it up to chance?
259
635000
3000
And mas gugustuhin mo ba talagang iiwan na lang ito sa kapalaran?
10:53
Much better for everybody to go off by themselves,
260
638000
2000
Mas maganda sa lahat na tumungo sa kanilang sarili,
10:55
generate their own ideas
261
640000
2000
maglikha ng sariling ideya
10:57
freed from the distortions of group dynamics,
262
642000
2000
lumiban sa mga distorsyon ng dinamiko sa loob ng grupo
10:59
and then come together as a team
263
644000
2000
at pagkatapos ay magsamasama bilang isang pangkat
11:01
to talk them through in a well-managed environment
264
646000
3000
para pag-usapan ito sa mas maayos na paligid
11:04
and take it from there.
265
649000
2000
at magsimula diyan.
11:06
Now if all this is true,
266
651000
2000
Kung gayong ito ay totoo,
11:08
then why are we getting it so wrong?
267
653000
3000
bakit tayo nagkakamali?
11:11
Why are we setting up our schools this way and our workplaces?
268
656000
2000
Bakit ginagawa natin ang mga paaralan at pinagtatrabahuan ng ganito?
11:13
And why are we making these introverts feel so guilty
269
658000
2000
At bakit pinakonsyensya natin ang mga introvert
11:15
about wanting to just go off by themselves some of the time?
270
660000
4000
sa kanilang pag-iisa sa ilang panahon?
11:19
One answer lies deep in our cultural history.
271
664000
3000
Ang kasagutan ay nariyan sa kasaysayan ng ating kultura.
11:22
Western societies,
272
667000
2000
Ang mga kanlurang lipunan,
11:24
and in particular the U.S.,
273
669000
2000
lalo na sa U.S.,
11:26
have always favored the man of action
274
671000
2000
ay mas kinilala ang man of action
11:28
over the man of contemplation
275
673000
2000
kaysa man of contemplation
11:30
and "man" of contemplation.
276
675000
4000
at "man" of contemplation.
11:34
But in America's early days,
277
679000
3000
Pero sa unang araw ng America,
11:37
we lived in what historians call a culture of character,
278
682000
3000
tayo ay nabubuhay sa tinatawag ng mga mananalaysay na culture of character,
11:40
where we still, at that point, valued people
279
685000
2000
na kung saan, sa puntong iyon, ay pinahahalagahan pa natin ang tao
11:42
for their inner selves and their moral rectitude.
280
687000
3000
sa kanilang kalooban at moralidad.
11:45
And if you look at the self-help books from this era,
281
690000
2000
At kung titingnan mo sa mga self-books ngayon,
11:47
they all had titles with things like
282
692000
2000
nariyan ang mga pamagat na
11:49
"Character, the Grandest Thing in the World."
283
694000
3000
"Karakter, ang Pinakadakilang Bagay sa Daigdig."
11:52
And they featured role models like Abraham Lincoln
284
697000
3000
At pinakilala ang mga bantog tulad ni Abraham Lincoln
11:55
who was praised for being modest and unassuming.
285
700000
2000
na pinuri sa kanyang mababang-loob at hindi hambog.
11:57
Ralph Waldo Emerson called him
286
702000
2000
Si Ralph Waldo Emerson ay kinilala siyang
11:59
"A man who does not offend by superiority."
287
704000
3000
"Ang taong hindi naka-offend ng pagiging mataas na uri."
12:02
But then we hit the 20th century
288
707000
3000
Pero bumaling tayo sa ika-dalawampung siglo
12:05
and we entered a new culture
289
710000
2000
at pumasok tayo sa bagong kultura
12:07
that historians call the culture of personality.
290
712000
2000
na tinawag ng mga mananalaysay bilang culture of personality.
12:09
What happened is we had evolved an agricultural economy
291
714000
2000
Ang nangyari ay umunlad mula sa pagiging agrikultural
12:11
to a world of big business.
292
716000
2000
sa mundo ng kalakalan.
12:13
And so suddenly people are moving
293
718000
2000
At biglang nagtungo ang mga tao
12:15
from small towns to the cities.
294
720000
2000
mula sa maliliit na pueblo sa siyudad.
12:17
And instead of working alongside people they've known all their lives,
295
722000
3000
At sa halip na mgatrabaho kasama ang mga taong kilala nila sa buong buhay
12:20
now they are having to prove themselves
296
725000
2000
ngayon ay pinapatunayan nila ang sarili
12:22
in a crowd of strangers.
297
727000
2000
sa mga estranghero.
12:24
So, quite understandably,
298
729000
2000
Kaya, medyo maliwanag,
12:26
qualities like magnetism and charisma
299
731000
2000
na ang mga katangian tulad ng magnetism at karesma
12:28
suddenly come to seem really important.
300
733000
2000
ay biglang naging napaka-importante.
12:30
And sure enough, the self-help books change to meet these new needs
301
735000
3000
At tiyak, na ang mga self-help books ay nagbago para matugugan itong bagong pangangailangan
12:33
and they start to have names
302
738000
2000
at nagsimula sila ng mga pangalang
12:35
like "How to Win Friends and Influence People."
303
740000
2000
tulad ng "Paano Makakuha ng mga Kaibigan at Makaimpluwensya ng mga Tao."
12:37
And they feature as their role models
304
742000
2000
At ipinakilala nila ang mga modelo
12:39
really great salesmen.
305
744000
3000
na mga magagaling na salesman.
12:42
So that's the world we're living in today.
306
747000
2000
At iyan ang mundong kinalalagyan natin ngayon.
12:44
That's our cultural inheritance.
307
749000
4000
Iyan ang iting bilin sa ating kultura.
12:48
Now none of this is to say
308
753000
2000
Walang sinuman ang makakapagsabi
12:50
that social skills are unimportant,
309
755000
3000
na ang mga social skill ay hindi importante,
12:53
and I'm also not calling
310
758000
2000
at hindi rin ako nagtatawag
12:55
for the abolishing of teamwork at all.
311
760000
3000
para itigil ang teamwork.
12:58
The same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops
312
763000
3000
Ang mga perihong relihiyon na ipinadala ang kanilang mga pantas sa tuktok ng bundok
13:01
also teach us love and trust.
313
766000
3000
ay nagtuturo din sa atin ng pagmamahal at pagtitiwala.
13:04
And the problems that we are facing today
314
769000
2000
At ang problemang hinaharap natin ngayon
13:06
in fields like science and in economics
315
771000
2000
sa agham at ekonomiya
13:08
are so vast and so complex
316
773000
2000
ay napakalawak at masalimuot
13:10
that we are going to need armies of people coming together
317
775000
2000
at kinakailangan natin ng mga hukbo ng taong nagkaisang
13:12
to solve them working together.
318
777000
2000
para solbahin ang problema.
13:14
But I am saying that the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves,
319
779000
3000
Pero ako'y nagsasabi na mas bigyan natin ng kalayaan ang mga intovert sa pagiging sila,
13:17
the more likely that they are
320
782000
2000
mas makakabuo sila
13:19
to come up with their own unique solutions to these problems.
321
784000
3000
ng kanilang natatanging solusyon sa mga problema.
13:24
So now I'd like to share with you
322
789000
2000
Kaya ngayon gusto kong maibatid sa inyo
13:26
what's in my suitcase today.
323
791000
3000
kung ano meron sa aking mga maleta ngayon.
13:33
Guess what?
324
798000
2000
Hulaan ninyo?
13:35
Books.
325
800000
2000
Mga libro.
13:37
I have a suitcase full of books.
326
802000
2000
Punong puno ang maleta ko ng libro.
13:39
Here's Margaret Atwood, "Cat's Eye."
327
804000
2000
Ito ang kay Margaret Atwood na "Cat's Eye."
13:41
Here's a novel by Milan Kundera.
328
806000
3000
Ito naman ang nobeka ni Milan Kundera.
13:44
And here's "The Guide for the Perplexed"
329
809000
2000
At ito ang "The Guide fot the Perplexed"
13:46
by Maimonides.
330
811000
3000
ni Maimonides.
13:49
But these are not exactly my books.
331
814000
3000
Pero hindi ko talaga mga libro ito.
13:52
I brought these books with me
332
817000
2000
Dinala ko lang ito ngayon
13:54
because they were written by my grandfather's favorite authors.
333
819000
4000
dahil sinulat sila ng mga manunulat na paborito ng aking lola.
13:58
My grandfather was a rabbi
334
823000
2000
Ang aking lolo ay isang rabbi
14:00
and he was a widower
335
825000
2000
at isang biyodo
14:02
who lived alone in a small apartment in Brooklyn
336
827000
3000
na nanirahan sa isang maliit na apartmnet sa Brooklyn
14:05
that was my favorite place in the world when I was growing up,
337
830000
3000
na yun ang pinakapaborito kong lugar nung akoy lumalaki,
14:08
partly because it was filled with his very gentle, very courtly presence
338
833000
3000
bahagya dahil puno iyon ng kanyang mayumi at magalang na presensya
14:11
and partly because it was filled with books.
339
836000
3000
at bahagya dahil punong puno ito ng mga libro.
14:14
I mean literally every table, every chair in this apartment
340
839000
3000
Literal ang pagkakasabi ko na bawat mesa at bawat upuan sa apartment
14:17
had yielded its original function
341
842000
2000
ay nadaig ang orihinal nitong selbi
14:19
to now serve as a surface for swaying stacks of books.
342
844000
3000
at nagiging patungan na lang ng mga imbak ng libro.
14:22
Just like the rest of my family,
343
847000
2000
Tulad din sa amin,
14:24
my grandfather's favorite thing to do in the whole world was to read.
344
849000
3000
ang pinakapaboritong gawin ng aking lolo ay ang pagbabasa.
14:27
But he also loved his congregation,
345
852000
3000
Pero mahal rin nya ang kanyang kongregisyon,
14:30
and you could feel this love in the sermons that he gave
346
855000
3000
at maramdaman mo itong pagmamahal sa kanyang mga sermon
14:33
every week for the 62 years that he was a rabbi.
347
858000
4000
sa bawat linggo sa loob ng 62 na taon niya na pagiging rabbi.
14:37
He would takes the fruits of each week's reading
348
862000
3000
Iipunin niya ang bunga ng bawat linggong pagbabasa
14:40
and he would weave these intricate tapestries of ancient and humanist thought.
349
865000
3000
at ang mga tepiserya ng maka-antigo at humistikong isipan.
14:43
And people would come from all over
350
868000
2000
Ang mga tao ay dumarating mula sa iba dako
14:45
to hear him speak.
351
870000
2000
para marinig siyang magsalita.
14:47
But here's the thing about my grandfather.
352
872000
3000
Pero may isang bagay meron sa aking lolo.
14:50
Underneath this ceremonial role,
353
875000
2000
Sa loob ng kanyang pansiremonyang tungkulin,
14:52
he was really modest and really introverted --
354
877000
3000
isa siyang
14:55
so much so that when he delivered these sermons,
355
880000
3000
tunay nga na kung magbigay siya ng sermon,
14:58
he had trouble making eye contact
356
883000
2000
naging mahirap sa kanya ang pagkaroon ng eye contact
15:00
with the very same congregation
357
885000
2000
sa mismong kongregisyon
15:02
that he had been speaking to for 62 years.
358
887000
2000
na pinagsasalitaan sa loob ng 62 taon.
15:04
And even away from the podium,
359
889000
2000
At kahit malayo sa pulpito,
15:06
when you called him to say hello,
360
891000
2000
kung babatiin mo siya,
15:08
he would often end the conversation prematurely
361
893000
2000
ay susubukin niyang matapos ang pakikipag-usap ng mas maaga
15:10
for fear that he was taking up too much of your time.
362
895000
4000
dahil sa takot na kinukuha niya ang oras mo.
15:14
But when he died at the age of 94,
363
899000
3000
Pero namatay siya sa gulang na 94,
15:17
the police had to close down the streets of his neighborhood
364
902000
3000
ang polisya ay sinara ang mga kalsada sa kanyang distrito
15:20
to accommodate the crowd of people
365
905000
2000
para matanggap ang mga tao
15:22
who came out to mourn him.
366
907000
3000
na dumarating para pagluksaan ang kanyang pagpanaw.
15:26
And so these days I try to learn from my grandfather's example
367
911000
3000
At sa ngyon gusto kong matutuo sa mga ihemplo ng aking lolo
15:29
in my own way.
368
914000
2000
sa aking paraan.
15:31
So I just published a book about introversion,
369
916000
3000
Kaya isinulat ko ang isang libro hinggil sa introbersiyon,
15:34
and it took me about seven years to write.
370
919000
2000
at umabot ng pitong taon para ito masulat..
15:36
And for me, that seven years was like total bliss,
371
921000
3000
At par sa akin, yun pitong taon na iyon ay lubos na kaligayahan,
15:39
because I was reading, I was writing,
372
924000
3000
dahil ako ay nagbasa, nagsulat
15:42
I was thinking, I was researching.
373
927000
2000
nag-isip, nagsaliksik.
15:44
It was my version
374
929000
2000
Iyon ang aking bersyon
15:46
of my grandfather's hours of the day alone in his library.
375
931000
3000
ng pag-iisa ng aking lolo sa kanyang aklatan.
15:49
But now all of a sudden my job is very different,
376
934000
3000
Pero ngayon ay biglang nabago ang aking trabaho,
15:52
and my job is to be out here talking about it,
377
937000
3000
at ang aking trabaho ay pumarito at magsalita hinggil duon,
15:55
talking about introversion.
378
940000
3000
magsalita tungkol sa introbersiyon.
15:58
(Laughter)
379
943000
4000
(Tawanan)
16:02
And that's a lot harder for me,
380
947000
2000
At yan ay bagay na mahirap sa akin,
16:04
because as honored as I am
381
949000
2000
dahil karangalangan ko
16:06
to be here with all of you right now,
382
951000
2000
ang pumarito sa inyong lahat ngayon,
16:08
this is not my natural milieu.
383
953000
3000
ito ay hindi ang kinagisnan kong kapaligiran.
16:11
So I prepared for moments like these
384
956000
2000
Kaya inihanda ko ang aking sarili para sa pagkakataong ganito
16:13
as best I could.
385
958000
2000
sa abot ng aking makakaya.
16:15
I spent the last year practicing public speaking
386
960000
2000
Ginugol ko ang aking sarili sa nakaraang taon para sa public speaking
16:17
every chance I could get.
387
962000
2000
sa bawat pagkakataong makuha ko.
16:19
And I call this my "year of speaking dangerously."
388
964000
3000
At tinawag ko itong aking "taon ng peligrosong pagsasalita."
16:22
(Laughter)
389
967000
2000
(Tawanan)
16:24
And that actually helped a lot.
390
969000
2000
At talagang nakatulong iyon sa akin.
16:26
But I'll tell you, what helps even more
391
971000
2000
Pero ito aysabihin ko sa inyo, kung ano ang mas nakatulong sa akin
16:28
is my sense, my belief, my hope
392
973000
3000
ay ang aking diwa, ang aking paniniwala, ang aking pag-asa
16:31
that when it comes to our attitudes
393
976000
2000
na sa pagdating ng ating saloobin
16:33
to introversion and to quiet and to solitude,
394
978000
2000
sa introbersiyon at sa katahimikan at sa pag-iisa
16:35
we truly are poised on the brink on dramatic change.
395
980000
2000
tayo ay nariyan sa gilid ng pagbabago.
16:37
I mean, we are.
396
982000
2000
Ibig sabihin na tayo.
16:39
And so I am going to leave you now
397
984000
2000
At ibig kong iwan kayo
16:41
with three calls for action
398
986000
2000
nitong tatlong tawag sa pagkilos
16:43
for those who share this vision.
399
988000
2000
para sa naka-ugnay nitong pananaw.
16:45
Number one:
400
990000
2000
Una:
16:47
Stop the madness for constant group work.
401
992000
2000
Ipigil ang kalokohan ng walang hangang group work.
16:49
Just stop it.
402
994000
2000
Itigil lang yan.
16:51
(Laughter)
403
996000
3000
(Tawanan)
16:54
Thank you.
404
999000
2000
Salamat.
16:56
(Applause)
405
1001000
2000
(Palakpakan)
16:58
And I want to be clear about what I'm saying,
406
1003000
2000
At gusto kung maging malinaw sa aking sasabihin,
17:00
because I deeply believe our offices
407
1005000
2000
dahil naniniwala ako na ang ating mga opisina
17:02
should be encouraging
408
1007000
2000
ay dapat naghihikayat
17:04
casual, chatty cafe-style types of interactions --
409
1009000
2000
ng kaswal, yung tulad sa kapehan na interaksiyon --
17:06
you know, the kind where people come together
410
1011000
2000
alam mo na, yung tipong nagsama-sama ang mga tao
17:08
and serendipitously have an exchange of ideas.
411
1013000
2000
at di-sinasadyang nagpalitan ng mga ideya.
17:10
That is great.
412
1015000
2000
Yun ay mahusay.
17:12
It's great for introverts and it's great for extroverts.
413
1017000
2000
Iyon ay mabuti para sa mga introvert at mabuti para sa mga extrovert.
17:14
But we need much more privacy and much more freedom
414
1019000
2000
Pero kailangan natin ng mas magiging pribado at mas maging malaya
17:16
and much more autonomy at work.
415
1021000
2000
at mas may otonomidad sa trabaho.
17:18
School, same thing.
416
1023000
2000
Sa eskwelahan ay ganun din.
17:20
We need to be teaching kids to work together, for sure,
417
1025000
3000
Kailangan nating ituto sa mga bata ang pagtutulungan, siyempre,
17:23
but we also need to be teaching them how to work on their own.
418
1028000
2000
pero kailangan din natin silang turuang magtrabaho sa sariling paraan.
17:25
This is especially important for extroverted children too.
419
1030000
3000
Importante ito lalo na sa mga batang extrovert.
17:28
They need to work on their own
420
1033000
2000
Kailangan nilang magtrabaho nang mag-isa
17:30
because that is where deep thought comes from in part.
421
1035000
2000
dahil diyan nagmumula ang malalim na kaisipan.
17:32
Okay, number two: Go to the wilderness.
422
1037000
3000
Okay, pangalawa: Tumungo sa kaparangan.
17:35
Be like Buddha, have your own revelations.
423
1040000
3000
Maging kapareho ni Buddha, gumawa ka ng iyong rebelasyon.
17:38
I'm not saying
424
1043000
2000
Hindi ko sinasabing
17:40
that we all have to now go off and build our own cabins in the woods
425
1045000
3000
tumungo tayong lahat ngayon sa bundok at mag-yari ng ating dampa
17:43
and never talk to each other again,
426
1048000
3000
at di na mag-uusap sa isa't isa,
17:46
but I am saying that we could all stand to unplug
427
1051000
2000
pero ang gusto kong sabihin ay ating hukayin
17:48
and get inside our own heads
428
1053000
2000
ang meron sa ating utak
17:50
a little more often.
429
1055000
3000
nang mas madalas pa.
17:54
Number three:
430
1059000
3000
Pangatlo:
17:57
Take a good look at what's inside your own suitcase
431
1062000
2000
Tingnang mabuti kung anong meron sa loob ng iyong maleta
17:59
and why you put it there.
432
1064000
2000
at bakit mo inilagay yun.
18:01
So extroverts,
433
1066000
2000
Kaya mga extrovert,
18:03
maybe your suitcases are also full of books.
434
1068000
2000
marahil ang inyong maleta ay puno din ng mga libro.
18:05
Or maybe they're full of champagne glasses
435
1070000
2000
O marahil ay ng mga champagne glasses
18:07
or skydiving equipment.
436
1072000
3000
o kagamitan sa skydiving.
18:10
Whatever it is, I hope you take these things out every chance you get
437
1075000
4000
Kung ano man ang meron, ako'y umaas na sana ang mga ito nailabas mo sa bawat pagkakataon
18:14
and grace us with your energy and your joy.
438
1079000
3000
at bigyan kami ng biyaya ng iyong enerhiya at kaligayahan.
18:17
But introverts, you being you,
439
1082000
3000
Pero sa mga introvert, ikaw bilang ikaw,
18:20
you probably have the impulse to guard very carefully
440
1085000
2000
marahil ay mayroon kang paghihimok para bantayan nang maigi
18:22
what's inside your own suitcase.
441
1087000
2000
kung ano man meron sa loob ng iyong maleta.
18:24
And that's okay.
442
1089000
2000
At yun ay okay lang.
18:26
But occasionally, just occasionally,
443
1091000
2000
Pero paminsan-minsan, paminsan-minsan lang,
18:28
I hope you will open up your suitcases for other people to see,
444
1093000
3000
nais ko sanang buksan mo ang iyong maleta para makita ang loob nito sa iba,
18:31
because the world needs you and it needs the things you carry.
445

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Susan Cain - Quiet revolutionaryOur world prizes extroverts—but Susan Cain makes a case for the quiet and contemplative. She reaches millions of people through her books, podcasts and her mission-based organization, Quiet Revolution, which empowers introverts for the benefit of everyone.
Why you should listen
Susan Cain is a former corporate lawyer and negotiations consultant -- and a self-described introvert. At least one-third of the people we know are introverts, notes Cain in her book QUIET: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. Although our culture undervalues them dramatically, introverts have made some of the great contributions to society -- from Chopin's nocturnes to the invention of the personal computer to Ghandi's transformative leadership. Cain argues that we design our schools, workplaces and religious institutions for extroverts, and that this bias creates a waste of talent, energy and happiness. Based on intensive research in psychology and neurobiology and on prolific interviews, she also explains why introverts are capable of great love and great achievement, not in spite of their temperament -- but because of them.
In 2015 Susan Cain announced the launch of her mission-based organization Quiet Revolution that aims to change the lives of introverts by empowering them with the information, tools and resources they need to survive and thrive.
In the workplace, companies are not fully harnessing the talents of their introverted employees and leadership teams are often imbalanced with many more extroverts than introverts. The Quiet Leadership Institute has worked with companies from LinkedIn to GE to Procter and Gamble to help them achieve their potential by providing learning experiences that unlock the power of introverts.
At the heart and center of the Quiet Revolution is empowering the next generation of children to know their own strengths and be freed from the sense of inadequacy that has shadowed the children of previous generations. Susan's second book, Quiet Power, is written for teens and young adults but also serves as a tool for teachers and parents. In addition, Susan has created a portal and a online learning experience for the parents of quiet children and has also established the Quiet Schools Network. Susan's podcast, Quiet: The Power of Introverts debuted in February 2016 as a 10-part series designed to give parents and teachers the tools they need to empower quiet kids.
Susan and the Quiet Revolution have received numerous accolades and press including Fortune magazine, The New York Times, NPRand many more.
