Never give up; you never know until you try.
I read a book recently that addressed the introvert/extrovert topic and found myself feeling completely vindicated. I've often felt that the world seems geared toward extroverts and paints introverts as backward, weird, even lazy. I've felt that American society, in particular, coerces introverts into going against their (our) true nature.
The book, "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking," by former corporate lawyer Susan Cain, argues that introverts are unfairly maligned, and I agree.
Check out the article, and give the book a try. If you're an extrovert, maybe you'll understand us introverts a little better. If you're an introvert, you might just find yourself feeling a little vindicated, as I did.

This is to encourage people to dare to dream, because you never know until you try; to face adversity, which we all face in one form or another, and keep on keepin' on; to do what they can and allow God to do what they can't.
The Serenity Prayer
This prayer, often repeated, is an originally untitled prayer by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It makes great sense to me, and whether you believe in God or not, I think it's a smart idea.
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference
