3/ They don’t feel the need to always talk.
Thinking about problems deeply, in quiet solitude, is where the life-changing insights come from.
It’s why many former presidents and financial gurus like Warren Buffett spend so much of their work time alone in their office.

4/ Talking becomes a productivity killer after a certain point. Answers are found in quiet contemplation. Throw in a domestic cat or dog for added effect.
5/ Talk is cheap to them. Silent actions are more powerful.
If we judged leaders based on quiet actions that don’t lead to success metrics, we’d have a seriously different world.
Value action. The rest is noise.

6/ Quietness is open-mindedness.
They make less noise about a subject because they can see both sides of an argument being right.

7/ It’s easy to call people idiots. It’s hard to sit in your bedroom with the door closed and imagine both sides of a controversial argument as being right.
8/ Noise is the sound of your ego.
There is a piece of your ego in everything you say.
The hardest thing to do is witness an injustice and say nothing. The temptation is to talk a lot, thinking it makes everything better.
Not every situation requires your awesome commentary

10/ Your ego needs attention when your mental health falls off a cliff.

11/ Quiet people will take over the world again. Actions will be valued over more talking about nothing.
Tiny actions that contribute to the greater good are an opportunity you can access when you develop your inner quiet muscle.

12/ Geniuses don’t talk a lot. They listen. They ask questions. They think deeply. Then they quietly take action when most people aren’t looking.
