I noticed many a times that a shy person always been considered good. I mean those who are genuinly be a shy by nature and not one who pretend to be a shy. The nature of a person usually tells many things about them. However if we get a closer look then these shyness in nature can prove to be a drawback for many. Infact it may make you incur heavy losses. Our Sanskrit scholar have a differrnt say about being shy.

Dhana = wealth.

As per the aboves lines, it is instructed that there are 4 things where a persin is bot suppose to be shy. It states 'One should never be shy in the matters of acquisition of wealth, adoption of procedures of agricultural production, while acquiring knowledge from a teacher, eating food, and dealing with other persons,and live a happy life.'
The four things, the person should remain open and put their thoughts and words openly without being shy. If a person while disagreeing with the situation relating to the above matters does not express his disagreement due to shyness, the results are against his interests. For example if a vegetarian person is served non-vegetarian food, without being shy he should refuse to eat that food. Similarly if a student has not understood the subject taught to him by his teacher,he should tell his teacher accordingly and request him to explain the matter again.
