How It All Started…

It was late at night. Three of my friends, Mervin, Elijah and Fiona from the Introvert Networking group, braved the rain and distance to visit me at my father-in-law’s wake. I shared with them, as any proud son-in-law would, about my father-in-law, who operated a small stall, “Ah Shui Pig’s Stomach Soup” at Geylang Lorong 19, and about his glories in the past, his pride, a Mercedes Benz stickered full of pigs, about him being a philanthropist who was featured in newspapers and even invited onto TV shows for his expertise in his trade.

Amidst the peanuts and melon seeds cracking, and over several cups of mineral water, the conversation somehow led to a discussion about a dream unfulfilled. One of my dreams of being a published author.

The initial discussion was fruitful as Mervin is already an experienced published author of 4 books, while Fiona has always wanted to write her book too. What came out from that discussion, though still preliminary then, was the idea of a published book that would contain heart-felt stories by the Introverts from our Introvert Networking group.

Thereafter, two more meetings were all it took to finalise the direction of the book – an anthology of stories by the Introverts, to share their breakthroughs in life, be it in career, business or social context. It will be the first of a series of how Introverts triumph. It will be a book that Introverts can relate to and inspires them to embrace their Introvert traits and leverage on their traits to triumph in life…

Because I’m Introvert… I TRIUMPH!
