But as the word satyagraha implies, Gandhi’s passivity was not weakness at all. It meant focusing on an ultimate goal and refusing to divert energy to unnecessary skirmishes along the way. Restraint, Gandhi believed, was one of his greatest assets. And it was born of his shyness: I have naturally formed the habit of restraining my thoughts. A thoughtless word hardly ever escaped my tongue or pen. Experience has taught me that silence is part of the spiritual discipline of a votary of truth. We find so many people impatient to talk. All this talking can hardly be said to be of any benefit to the world. It is so much waste of time. My shyness has been in reality my shield and buckler. It has allowed me to grow. It has helped me in my discernment of truth.

Ditch your shyness; no one gives a damn about it. The saying goes, “it’s not what you know; it’s who you know.” Internal networking is underrated and often looked up to as a time-waster. Even I underrated its potential. Shyness and social anxiety can obstruct you from growing your internal network. But no one cares about your personality type. If you’re at work, you have to be an extroverted introvert. At least for a few hours a day.
