"Introverted children enjoy the internal world of thoughts, feelings and fantasies, and there's a physiological reason for this. Researchers using brain scans have found introverts have more brain activity in general, and specifically in the frontal lobes. When these areas are activated, introverts are energized by retrieving long-term memories, problem solving, introspection, complex thinking and planning. "
"Introverted children need time alone more than do extroverted children, says Laney, whose book, The Hidden Gifts of the Introverted Child, is due in January. 'Extroverts gain energy by being out and about,' but 'being with people takes energy from introverts, and they need to get away to restore that energy.'"
"Laney says introverted kids also behave differently. "
"They're not slow, inattentive or shy. Shyness is behavior that may diminish as children grow; introversion is a character trait that lasts. "

Preserve the silence......

As I just sit back and look at this world from the corner...the touch I could feel is far beyond your imagination...
Preserve the silence...feel it...together with me...

Picasso in Turkey(Click the title for link):









"Until now, any Turk who wanted to enjoy modern Western art had to do so abroad. "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The curators have gathered 135 exhibits. They are displayed chronologically, from some of Picasso's first paintings as a boy through to pieces he selected himself for his final exhibition, which opened a month after his death in 1973. "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I think the Turkish people have a real advantage that they can approach the work fresh, without any preconceived ideas "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dozens of other rare works are on loan from the Picasso family collection including ceramics, sculptures and sketches. Most come from his grandson Bernard."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Turkey has long been a major lender of its own art and artefacts to the West, mainly from the era of the Ottoman Empire. This event aims to reverse the trend.
But it is also about introducing Turks to modern Western art. The museum aims to educate, as well as entertain."
