People who don't talk too much may be called introverts or perhaps a little boring. But, in this world of egos and selfishness, talking less is the best thing we can do. Those who talk less seem almost perfect for this world. Such people may not get instant success in life, but they will eventually become successful. Folks with these personalities often will have the following qualities:
1. Avoid arguments
2. Focuses more on work
3. If they have something to say it will be effective
4. Good listener
5. Accepts people as they are

Avoid arguments
Unnecessary arguments are undoubtedly the main reason behind many of the problems in society. This is where one of the main qualities of an introvert, helps them to be almost perfect.
For example, if Mr. A tells Mr. B (who is a so-called introvert) while sitting in the park in bright sunshine: "Hey Mr. B, you know it's night time now," Mr. B will say that - "no its daytime now." But if Mr. A, again, argues to Mr. B that it's night time, a person of Mr. B'S character will tell Mr. A, "Yeah, it may be night time. You may be correct." Here Mr. B is not saying it because he believes that it's night time. Mr. B who represents introverts is saying like this, just to avoid an argument.
I believe that what Mr. B has done is perfect. Most of us will argue that Mr. B is a person without his own opinion. But Mr. B is very intelligent not to argue with Mr. A about his madness. The point to be noted is that even Mr. A may be aware that it's daytime and just wants to create an argument, which Mr.A has failed to do. To mark the importance of this quality I want to quote Che Guevara, "Silence is arguments carried out by other means."

Focuses more on work
Very talkative people waste's a lot of time by talking unnecessarily. But people who talk less can use all this time working or doing creative things.

If they have something to say it will be effective
Extroverts usually go on talking about something or other always. So when they talk about something important, nobody is going to understand its importance, because the audience will think that they are just saying something as always. But when introverts talk about something, it will be very effective as the audience knows that if such a person has something to say, there will be some point in it. Such people think a lot before speaking.

Good listener
Listening to others is a real key to success. Reserved people are generally good listeners. Talkative humans think about what they'll talk about next while talking to somebody. They think about the answer before the question is finished. But people who talk less will listen to questions very carefully, analyze them and then answer up to the point.

Accepts people as they are
Usually, people with this character never try to change anybody. They know well that it's impossible to change a human being. They accept people as they are. This will help them to keep relationships in good standing.
In spite of all these advantages, introverts have some disadvantages also. But those disadvantages are not harmful to others. The effect of those disadvantages is for themselves. These people are generally disregarded and misunderstood because of their quiet nature. The world will not be aware of their talents and qualities. Thanks to platforms like Hubpages through which they can showcase their talent. Usually, such people prefer writing or typing rather than talking.
Reports on some research tell us about a lot of very successful people who consider themselves an introvert. That list includes; American President Barack Obama, Microsoft?s Bill Gates, Uber-investors, Warren Buffett and Charles Schwab, Avon?s chief executive, Andrea Jung, and the late publishing giant, Katharine Graham.
Another introvert hero who is very much in the news today is Cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar. The reason behind his success is not just his extraordinary talent, but also his calm and quiet nature. The farewell he is getting is a clear example of a successful, but a quiet person. I don't think any other sports personality ever received such a great farewell.

SO, in short, we can conclude that being an introvert is not at a barrier for success.
