A Turtle's Guide to Introversion

喜歡自己， 那個有點棒……又有點怪的自己。 不是用吼的，才叫有自信。 不是沒想法，而是自有一套表達的方法。 緩慢系萌龜教你── 不疾不徐．不卑不亢．不屈不撓。 ．當外面的世界不那麼友善，更要懂得肯定自己。 強裝熱絡、勉強尬聊，是我們面對人群時，強迫自己戴上的面具。真實的自己，其實渴望像烏龜一樣縮進殼裡，心安自在。 雖然沒有令人亮眼的爆發力，但對於熱中的事物，有著龜兔賽跑一般的持久力；比較慢熟、比較溫吞，不代表沒有自己的聲音，只是慣用自己的方法來表達。 ．獻給在獨處時生龍活虎，卻在群體中迷失自己的你。 烏龜的安靜，讓牠們在團體中像是穿上隱形斗篷一樣。回到自己的空間裡，豐沛的想像力讓牠們善於發掘獨處的樂趣；單機作業的自在也令牠們工作起來特別有效率。牠們的內心是一個與外表截然不同的世界。 縮頭龜的逆襲之道： ．讓想像力奔馳，尋常事物也會美呆了。 ．做喜歡的消遣，讓自己渾身是勁。 ．在內心探索，那早已存在的勇氣與力量。 ──萌龜小語：習慣用自己的方法，不代表我做錯了啥。 身邊的人說話比較快、音量比較大、氣勢比較強， 不代表內向的人沒想法，只是慣用自己的方式來表達。 ──萌龜小語：我的夢想，是要參加馬拉松啊。 內向的人喜歡按照自己的步調，慢慢理解和消化周遭世界， 看似缺乏衝勁，實則充滿「龜兔賽跑」的堅忍耐力。 ──萌龜小語：在我專屬的龜殼裡，我可是忙著呢。 喜歡獨處、討厭交際，是想追求有意義的互動； 偏好單機作業、擅長深度專注，是牠們創意大爆發的原動力。 ．內文中英對照呈現，英文為英檢中級程度。
