The Cowardly Lion was scared of everything. Something goes BUMP! and he would jump. He was a true ‘fraidy cat. He’d failed to build courage in his life. Image by Evan Rummel.

I’ve been an introvert all of my life. I was born that way – or at least I’ve been this way as far as my memory carries me. As a child, I remember at social gatherings people asking me if there was something wrong with me. Because to some people it’s “wrong” to not be talkative. I had to force myself to engage others all through high school.

Mitsuaki Iwago/Minden Pictures/Getty Images. It’s no secret that most of us don’t get enough sleep and suffer for it.

Hayon Thapaliya. Forty years ago, two companies were known for aggressively recruiting minorities on college campuses: IBM and Xerox , both considered hot tech companies of that era. My senior year in college, a black sales rep from IBM encouraged me and a group of fellow black students to consider a career with the company.
