The quiet colleague

新しく来た同僚は会議でほとんど話さなかったので、私は意見がないのだと思っていた。ある日、議題を前日に送ったところ、彼女は詳しい提案を準備してきた。突然聞かれると考えをまとめにくいだけだったのだ。発言の多さだけで、人の意欲を判断してはいけないと思った。

Reading & meaning

I assumed a quiet new colleague had no opinions. When I sent the agenda a day early, she brought detailed proposals. She simply found it hard to organize thoughts when asked suddenly. I learned not to judge motivation only by how much someone speaks.
