Book Review: Quiet by Susan Cain
Welcome to another book review from me based on a quote from a book. Today's writing will be from the book Quiet by Susan Cain, and the quote says:
“There’s zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas.”
The quote is a straightforward challenge to the perceived notion that the most outspoken one is the person with value, and attention should follow. In our society today, we are governed by the belief that people who talk more often with a lot of confidence have wisdom and intelligence within them. It made me wonder if Susan Cain is leaning towards the direction that the emptiest barrel makes the loudest noise. Is she trying to say we should not mistake outspokenness for intelligence? Well, one thing is for sure: she is going to challenge her readers' thoughts about where intelligence lies.
She goes on to say that it relies more on understanding depth. It is not just about having the confidence to talk or being the one to jump on the mic first; it is about how well you know what you are talking about. It is all about reflection and solitude. How much have you spent to dwell extensively on what you have to say? Have you thought about it deeply, and how much do you know when questions come into play? The author believes that the true intelligence of one's knowledge can be seen when they encounter questions and challenges on the topic at hand.
She goes on to back the challenge by stating that this is where introverts strive more. They spend a lot of their time thinking and dwelling deeply in their thoughts, which is a reflection of true intelligence. In Susan Cain's simple words, spending time in solitude and reflection shows intelligence. Going back to the genesis of the quote, it borders on the difference between expression and depth. Expression is centered on the words and what you have to say, while depth is centered on how much time you have spent thinking about what you have to say. Now you get why Susan Cain believes that introverts have more to say. It is because they spend a lot of their time thinking deeply about what they have to say before they say it. It is about the depth, as it brings more knowledge to share. For instance, two people have a task to present, one spends 6 hours on what they have to say for the task, while the other spends 6 minutes; it is obvious to say that one person will be more knowledgeable about what they have to say compared to the other person.
The author of the book makes us understand that although we live in a world that rewards being fast to speak and mistakes silence for lack of confidence, we should not forget to understand that it is all about the time spent on thinking before speaking. She goes on to state that most innovation in the world was carried out by people who stayed silent while they did their thinking. It is not about being quick to speak, but it is about leaning towards the strength of thinking and spending more time with our thoughts before we speak. There is freedom of speech, but we should not forget to think before we speak.

que bueno que traes este analisis al book club, a veces la sociedad premia al que mas grita pero el silencio tiene mucho poder de verda.
aqui en mi trabajo tambien he notado que las mejores soluciones vienen de pensar con calma y mucha reflexion horita. saludos.
nice that you bring this analysis to the book club, sometimes society rewards the loudest person but silence has a lot of power for real.
here in my work i have also noticed that the best solutions come from thinking calmly and with much reflection right now. greetings.

Hello everyone I hope you are all good and well today in this post is some of the evidence to prove my case
If you didn't know I've been getting downvoted for a long time on Hive
They have been trying to bully me with downvotes and words but it doesn't affect me I've been online for over 25 years
So I've dealt with people like this before it's nothing new
But what they are doing is bad Very badi joined steemit like everyone else thinking it offers freedom but I must say steemit offered much more freedom than Hive does
Everyone already knows I only post my own original content I have no need to steal anything from anyone
I've been labelled a lot of things on Hive 😂 by the biggest farmers scammers and downvoters
Actions speak louder than any words do especially when them words are coming from a compolsive liars
I will keep updating this post when I get time

Huhm, so true and deep. A lot of people/us just talk without thinking twice if our words carries any meaning or not.
When we take our time to think things through before voicing out, we will definitely have something meaningful to say.
Indeed, it is not about being quick to speak, but about taking our time to think and prepare in silent before speaking
Thanks for sharing.
❤️❤️❤️
