As a business owner, I also try not to overlook the quiet introverted ones. All that glitters isn't always gold but it can surly divert your attention.Karenhttp://www.amagicalmommy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613284365383815638.post-84081735025714804452012-01-22T14:00:53.250-05:002012-01-22T14:00:53.250-05:00Very interesting post!

Just put your trust in me! <br /><br />You know that old saying, "Never judge a book by it's cover"? Well people just do, perhaps they can't help it and that's why business people dress as they do. Would you want to buy an insurance policy from a nicely dressed, well spoken woman in a suit or from a woman with a spaghetti strapped blouse and tight leather skirt with tattoos and piercings and speaking in slang terms? Both would have to have secured the same license and have the same training, but you would trust one over the other.<br /><br />I guess that is why politicians play the game and dress in suits and kiss babies and why their wives are always perfectly coiffed with frozen smiles on their faces. That is what we trust and what we want to see in our leaders. <br /><br />I've always liked that Michele Obama was not a Jackie Kennedy Cookie Cutter First Lady! She dressed like one of us.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18196096131750922174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613284365383815638.post-15092064661146587602012-01-19T13:07:08.251-05:002012-01-19T13:07:08.251-05:00Throughout history, many world leaders have been c...Throughout history, many world leaders have been charasmatic. Not necessarily attractive, but definitely charasmatic. There have been leaders that did something positive for the people they led and others that led their people to the most horrific depths. Yes, as Americans we are suckers for a pretty package. But, I think as a society, the more exposed we are to different versions of humanity whether in person or through the interwebs, our viewpoints of what is 'pretty' is expanding. At least, I hope so.<br /><br />Interesting take on the book! I think many of us will be going down different roads on Quiet. Off to read some more! :>Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572568205513606978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613284365383815638.post-25284893436875767402012-01-19T12:26:53.770-05:002012-01-19T12:26:53.770-05:00The "Salesman" is such an iconic America...The "Salesman" is such an iconic American figure - reading this book helped me see why.<br /><br />Great post!MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657624957929650534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613284365383815638.post-16021749712506323392012-01-19T10:33:40.396-05:002012-01-19T10:33:40.396-05:00I do think people who seem outwardly extroverted s...I do think people who seem outwardly extroverted stand an easier chance getting a job - it's tough to be an introvert!Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516729845845593925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613284365383815638.post-57822616911442279862012-01-19T09:33:54.229-05:002012-01-19T09:33:54.229-05:00I couldn't agree with you more!

I am learning from reading this book, to take a little more time in considering whether I'm attracted to a sparkling personality or if the salesman/politician/coworker is really offering something of worth. Many times it's both, but it's still worth thinking more about.
