Jerry Brito: Top ten myths about introverts →
jerrybrito:
Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.
Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to…

This infographic really bothers me. First of all, I would put my entire life savings down on the fact that some, if not most, of this information is made up. Second of all, internet users are going to see advertisements no matter what. They might as well at least try to be relevant. Third, if people don’t realize yet that the internet is a public atmosphere and content is available for...

The next step - I try really hard to take it one step further - add humor, emotion of some kind, maybe an ‘aha’ moment. For example, with Mail Order Bride, I came up with the characters, but the little chair against the...
