Desire of pearls cannot be accomplished unless the minor goes deep inside the ocean.
The taste of food cannot be known unless you actually put it into your mouth.
In the same way success cannot be achieved unless you work hard for it in the best way you can along with sheer dedication, determination, devotion, patience and consistency.
Truly said "A ship docked in harbor cannot face the storms".
Success doesn't falls on one's lap.
Expecting success without countless efforts and facing it's odd's is just a FLIGHT OF FANCY, expecting HORNS OF RABBIT or drawing PICTURES IN THE SKY WITH WATER. For success one has to dig down, dig dig down and ask themselves who they want to be not what but who.
There are two ways to fail - 1. By trying and then failing. 2. By failing to try.
You have to decide which way to go. Which path to lead.
Also this thought tells us about the deep ocean of opportunities. Only the requirement from us is to be brave and courageous enough to face the storms. Opportunities are like uninvited guests. They will knock at everybody's door. But one has to alert, receptive and inquisitive enough to respond to that knock. The one who opens the door makes hay while the one who doesn't, cries. Most of them realize the value of opportunities in their life only when it in the neighboring ship.
All of us are like flowing rivers of talents, potency, potentialities, capabilities, abilities and strength but we are just like the renowned phrase "croaking frogs of the well". We don't know how big the ocean is as we are always staying at the safe dock. But for success you have to come out of the safe house and face the storms.

Hello my friends, the topic is a ship docked in harbor can't face storm. Here "ship" is the life and "storm" is the difficulty which we have to face in our life. Yes, a ship docked in harbor is not facing any storm but when it is in the sea then it must has to face storm. It can't be in the harbor for all times.
Similarly, we can't neglect the difficulties without doing anything or by staying inside the home. Our life is not bed of roses but also having thorns. And we all want to make it thornless as much as possible. For this we can't avoid thorns. We have to try to remove that. And doing nothing for the thorns is not the way. It does not prove that how strong we are. And it does not help us to reach our goal. We all are not so perfect and not able to do only the right things every times as we all are human being.
If we do anything then only we can know what is the wrong and can be able to identify the right way to achieving our aim. We get the lesson from the failures. It gives us chances to choose the right decisions and directs us in the right way. There will always difficulty in doing right and thew way becomes harder as we become nearer to the goal. And there is no trouble in doing wrong. The way for this is smooth. So, we have to do work, face the trouble with the confidence then only we can reach our goal.

Hello I would like to phrase my views for this topic.
We all know life is a long chain of process. In this process you will interact with lots of storm with lots of pain but we should never surrender rather then we should fight with this storm and go ahead with the ambition to have eventually bliss in your life. Running with your responsibilities doesn't assist you in your life to succeed. Instead of escaping your life valuable moment one should take the life as an Adventure and sail with time.
Life is like a waves and tides, there will always be accent and decent in the voyage of life but rather being escaping it cowardly its always better to face it boldly and acquire with destination. For how long one would not face challenge, one day will be at the moribund stage then there would not be any ways to escape it, you have to endure it whether you wanted it or not. So my conclusion is that ultimately we all have to face the storm one day so why don't we experience with it now along the journey of the life and try to conquer this world of yours. Once you conquer your destination with all this adversities then you will know, yeah you had your life and you will find everything beautiful around you, so don't give up and just TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY AND TRY.

Everyone on earth takes birth or exists for a purpose. This may be a self-defined goal or a social responsibility or anything. Everyone's life is directed towards the accomplishment of the objective. Although, one accomplishment leads to the desire for a new goal. Success lies in such accomplishments.
The purpose of a seed to provide food and shelter and reproduce. The purpose can be achieved only if the seed comes out of its comfort zone, i.e. the nurturing soil. The seed's life is successful, only when it cracks the earth and comes out to grow into a tree. It is said, "Too much of anything is bad". If the same seed, fails to grow and come out of the comfort zone to face the atmosphere, the same earth which was supposed to nurture it will end up spoiling the same. A rotten seed is of no use.
Similarly, an un-harbored ship invites rust and damages itself. Over-pampered or lazy people who deny leaving their comfort zones, are never successful. To enjoy success, one needs to face challenges and difficulties of life.
Remember,
A ship can sail against the storms and realize its potential, only if it is un-harbored.

'A ship Docked in Harbour cannot face the storms'.
Yes, I agree with this statement. The cozy lifestyle will never help us grow strong enough to tackle the real life situations. But before we go to face challenges, one should be prepared enough to know how to face challenge and march forward in life. The goal is also needed to chosen intelligently.
Today right from childhood we are pampered by so many luxuries, modern amenities, gadgets etc. Which make us feel that we are very happy and I don't have to make any efforts for anything. But when grown up one faces obstacle at every point of time. He has to take decisions himself.
So he is already facing difficulties and problems every time but he should guidance and apply his own knowledge to tackle it. Because the reality is far more complicated than we think of. Also one cannot go avoiding the reality.
So please think of you, your goal, process etc. And make endeavors to get. Keep remembering life is a bed of roses. We are always getting illusioned in so many ways. Find a path to achieve the aim.
Thank you!

Definitely, a ship docked at harbour can't face the storm. A ship is not meant to be tied to one place. A ship deserves an experience of travelling across the water then only it's purpose will be fulfilled and it could face the storms without getting submerged easily into the water. As a ship dock to a harbour is useless similarly our life is also useless if we never come out of our comfort zone then d only thing we will do is surrendering ourself easily before the situations. What is the essence of that life which is not full of experiences and risks? Our experiences make us to reach success and get the meaning of life. We, humans, are always afraid of bad experiences and just because of it we never desire to come out of our box.
Our experience and risk-taking capacity prepare us to face any difficult situation of our life. It makes us strong so that we can easily withstand bad situations. Our life comprises of both good and bad weather. A difficult one is like a cloudy weather. If we are already having an experience then we can perform better.

Hi everyone. All of you are familiar with the saying "life is not what you order". Sometimes things won't turn out according to your plan. Life is full of unexpected events. Now if you face it, you will be rewarded with experience and if something like that occurs in the future you can face it with ease. But if you ignore it and something like that occur in the future you won't be able to face it. These group of words can be explained by the idiom "a ship docked in harbor cannot face the storms.
Here ship means life and storm means unexpected events or difficulties.
Let me give some examples like Lionel Messi - one of the Best in the football, Sachin Tendulkar started playing cricket when he was four. They wouldn't be who they are if they wouldn't have come out of their comfort zone.
Another Great example is of Abraham Lincoln Who has to fight against his entire cabinet to pass the bill for the freedom of the slaves. What if he would have given up at that time. In other words success is cannot be achieved without facing difficulties.

Hi, friends I just want to discuss regarding this topic that a ship docked in Harbor can not face the storms that means here ship means we and that Harbor means our comfort zone and that storm means our path of success if we always stocked our body physically and mentally in the comfort zone we can't win the race a scriptures looks more to more beautiful due to their lots work done by that maker and painter so we should always busy in our non-comfortable zone but never rest in our comfort zone as we talk a sleeping lion can't get the sweetest meat so we just start our mission mode for getting our goals never think of that how much we completed our task today but think like that how much I want to learn today and how far I am from my success, achievement, goals. So, I concluded that our mindset ship always is in ready for facing storm be in the running water-heavy waves but not be in a comfort zone like Harbor thank you.

Hi friends,
It's truly said that 'A ship docked in Harbour cannot face the storms'. For few seconds go to your past, recollect those childhood memories. While learning to walk holding our parents hand, we must have fallen so many times but we used to stand up and walk again. This very picture can clearly say what actually life is.
We all fail, we fall, but in order to master our life we have to stand up again, just in the same way how we have mastered the art of walking:P. Moreover, gold cannot be purified without fire and diamonds are nothing but the chunks of coal stick to their jobs. So I believe, In order to reach our destination, we have to sail our ship, and the storms actually help us to know the real quality of ship. If ship will get across then we can know the potential and if not then we also don't need to worry, we can work in order to improve the ship and will get across next time:).

Here, Ship is compared to our life and storm is compared to the hurdles that the life faces. A ship docked in the harbour cannot face the storm that means a person never faced the failures can never get the taste of success. Ship is made to sail in the sea. And life is all about facing failures than getting the success. Unless or until we will not face the situation s of the life we will never able to get the right path.
There are many examples like APJ Abdul kalam our former president, Mr Modi our recent prime minister, Founder of reliance Mr Ambani and their are many more. If they never sailed in the sea they would never be holding such important prestige of the country. So, the ship is meant to sail their is no use of its to docked in the harbour for us to get the real success we have to face challenges failures and hardships!
