The Quietest Person in the Room Is Often Fighting the Loudest Battle

Not everyone who looks calm is okay.

This appeals to a much broader audience than developers and taps into a universal emotional experience.

If you’ve ever looked at someone and thought,

“They have everything figured out.”

You were probably wrong.

Some of the strongest people I’ve ever met weren’t loud.

They weren’t the funniest.

They weren’t the most confident.

In fact…

Most of them barely spoke.

At first, I thought they were shy.

Later, I realized they were carrying battles nobody else could see.
