IF - shy.jpg

Dearest Darling Friends,

There is a Jewish saying: ‘One who is shy cannot learn fast’.

Why do they say so?

They believe the one who is shy will be afraid to ask. Without asking, he only understands what is told. Through asking, he gets clarity on every doubt that he has. Clarity is power. Clarity gives momentum. Clarity creates possibilities. Clarity makes reflection possible. Clarity is a must for contemplation, implementations and application. In Mahabharat, Arjun could not bring himself to fight till he had 'complete' clarity. He ceaselessly asked questions and Krishna patiently kept on answering. The wisdom of Krishna needs the questions of Arjuna for it to be revealed.

Some students don't ask, thinking, they might offend the teacher. You need the clarity the teacher can provide. So keep asking.

Some students don't ask, thinking, they might look stupid. The answers will help you to become wise. So keep asking.

Some students don't ask, thinking, they might be laughed at. Let your results do the talking. So keep asking.

Some students don't ask, thinking, they will find the answers on their own. Of course you can. But it will take a hell of a lot of time. Do you have the luxury of so much time? I guess your answer is NO. Then, keep asking.

When you ask questions, you DO NOT display ignorance. You display that you have a 'THINKING MIND'. All good teachers, all successful people, love to interact with people who ask to learn.

Learning proceeds fast through questions. Learn fast so that you can become wise fast.

May you always dare and care to ask and become 'wise'! May you never keep your doubts and ignorance hidden and quiet, and therefore, stay 'otherwise'?

With love, prayers and exceptional wishes,

Prachi

Imagine, when we wake up, we are given only what we had thanked for.

Sort:  

I relate to this, I spent my entire childhood in a shy state - it truly stunts your development and growth!

yep.. its difficult... but we soon learn to grow over it :) Thats life i'd say

Hello @prachik

One who is shy cannot learn fast

Though I believe this is true. I think it is still false to an extent. There is a lot of educational materials available in the world right now.

An anyone who is serious about learning can avail himself of the opportunity that it is present.

But when it comes to life skills I think that if a shy person have no Family member to guide him then the person will have issues down the line.

It is not everything that can be learnt online so we still need a level of offline guidance.

Thanks for sharing. Are you on Discord

Yeah i agree to you that now a days everything is available online... but the issue is after being on so many social media sites.. most people have a non existent social lives... and thats the sad part of our lives.

So, i feel overcoming the shyness is the best chance for a fruitful future! Not that, those who are shy don't have one, but the odds increase heavily is what i feel..!!!
