Successful introvert

Every piece of advice on finding success

Invariably places a lot of stress

On meeting people, making connections,

In the hope of finding an intersection

Of mutual business interests, that is the way

To enhance professional profile in this age and day…

Therefore going to business dinners is the norm

Where you have to be careful, you have to perform

The role of the suave, confident professional flawlessly

Impress those who can help you advance professionally

You are expected to find every opportunity to socialize

With people that can help your ambition be realized

*

It appears that an introvert is thus doomed to be

Not quite successful professionally

There must be a way to let your work speak

For itself, excellence at work should not be that weak

To require superficial interactions with people perceived

To be powerful, but that is what the world makes you believe..

*

Of course finding your tribe and making connections heartfelt

Is a path to enrichment in life and good health

But forced communication with an ulterior motive

May not for overall satisfaction be conducive

*

Communication may be the key to professional success

But professional growth is a multidimensional process

In the end trying to change who you are

May not allow you to get very far..

*

Each day that you perform your work with diligence

You get closer to achieving professional excellence
