In deafening silence we could hear some answers to deep-seated questions about life or anything which we have been trying to hide, ignore or sweep under the carpet. When we stay quiet for a little longer than we normally would, we could arrive at some precious conclusions/discoveries/truths.
And that is an attribute of a thinker which is a more positive label for an introvert - referring to "people who are in their heads too much". Got this from a cool article which introverts have been waiting all their life: Eight Things That Aren't True About Introverts
I have also realized that by right this blogger cannot claim to be a writer. This space has plenty of recording of what other good and learned people have said - that's a recorder. It has tonnes of quotations from other smart and sharp people - that's a quoter.
Hopefully, some extrovert smart cookies won't initiate a debate with me on anything especially on religion. Because it's not worth it. On top of being a mere recorder and a quoter, I am not clever enough to tweet, let alone engage in a debate. I can't even write something brilliant and snappy under 140 characters. Go in there and just favorite other people's tweets - that's a like-er. Either that or do a retweet (RT) which is a no brainer.
To prove what has been said, I wish to copy and tweak a bit, a tweet by Steven Snyder and say this - "Everyone is at their own unique stage in the servanthood continuum and in their mastery of the art of self-purification."
We are indeed at our own unique stage of whatever vocation we are in or care about, so have mercy and respect variety.
Note:
Steven Snyder's original tweet:
"Everyone is at their own unique stage in the leadership continuum and in their mastery of the art of struggle."
Snyder has just published his first book: Leadership and the Art of Struggle
To me an introvert (I am one) is someone who suffers from written diarrhea and verbal constipation. Sorry… this is my lame attempt at a joke.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously though, It does not matter what you want to call yourself – Recorder, Quoter, or Like-er. To me you are a writer. The huge number of followers to your blog is a testimony to that. To be able to write what learned people have said in an interesting way is a gift and talent that not many have.
Thank you for distributing the message of these learned people to a wider audience through your writing. May Allah reward you and May you continue to do what you do. InshaAllah
