Speak up, Stand Up and Chin Up
STAND UP, SPEAK UP AND CHIN UP
Some of us might already born
with introverted personality, but some of us were born with extroverted
personality. Which one are you? And which one are better ? Neither nor. Both
kind of personality have their pros and contras. This article is not about
identifying which personality do you belong to but to know that you need each other.
First of all, if you are still
focus, our topic is Stand Up, Speak Up and Chin Up. Some of you might have
impression that this article are written for those with quiet, left out and
introverted personality. But, you are wrong. Why would I say that? Because you
can be chatty but still left out in conversation. You can raise your hand and
speak your opinion but still feeling unsure of your own thoughts. It might be
you are afraid if the community does not accept you and your opinion. So what
is this article about ? It is about standing up for yourself with pride,
believing yourself when no one else did, and thrive under pressure even if you
feel like giving up on everything.
If you are introvert, listen and focus. But if
you are extrovert, listen and focus too so you can understand introverts better.
You can actually know what they are going on and hopefully it will help we all
to connect better. People with quiet personality will always get underestimate
by others. Other people don’t give them chances to prove themselves in anything.
For example, there is a girl who are very a good singer but no one knows that.
Why? because she never tell or sing to other people before and people just does
not pay attention or care enough to their surroundings. So what should the girl
do? She should try to grab any opportunity to show that she is talented. Get
into a singing contest, talent show, or simply perform a song at the school
talent show. We all know it is not that simple. It is not easy. It takes nerve
to do that. Yes , but just try. This might be beginning for new adventure.
Moving on to the lousy people.
What should you do? Hear them out. People with introverted personality, rarely
say anything, but when they speak up, hear them out just like they have always listened
to you all the time. Maybe if you pay more attention, they will be more
courageous to come out from their shells and speak up. Or, maybe they hate
being in the center and receiving attentions, and they just prefer to do their
own things and hiding in their tiny little hut. Is it true? You decide. I
strongly believe, even though they did not like the attention as much as the
extroverts do, but they still would like to have their own opinion to be hear
out and they still want people know that they are exist, have potential and
have abilities to do something that you cannot do.
You already know your roles.
So, make a change. Change for yourself, change for people around you. You can
change the world. You already know that we need each other in this life. It is
very crucial for you to know this and actually work this out. You have to know
that you cannot shut people out just because their opinions does not match with
yours. You also need to know that you have to give yourself a chance to believe
in yourself and others. You must be proud of your accomplishment even though it
is just small things that people don’t even see or appreciate. You are worth
it. You are equally important as others. Do not look down on yourself or other people. Respect, understand and
appreciate yourself. Do not let the negative thought swirling around inside
your head. Speak up when you know it is
wrong. Stand for what you believe but also at the same time, learn to
compromise. Learn to negotiate. It is unfair for people to listen to you but you are not listening to them ,
isn’t it ? I truly hope we all learn something today and make a change even if
the slightest one.
good thoughts. I like your words when you say, you have to know that you cannot shut people out just because their opinions does not match with yours.
