Hello friends.

A ship docked in harbor cannot face the storms.

There are a lot of people in the world who give up even before they try. They do not take risks in life and hence almost always fail to succeed. Success will be achieved only by those, in this competitive world, who move out of their comfort zone, take risks and overcome every obstacle on their way.

So unless the ship is let out into the sea it will not be able to face the storm and reach its final destination. Avoiding the storm also will never get the ship to its destination.

Take challenges in life and succeed!

Storms usually are violent in the middle of the sea and ships has the chances of a possible wreck when caught in the middle of a storm in mid sea. It explains the strength of a ship is measured only when it is set to sail and not when it is docked. Just as any individual can test his potential only when he is open to face challenges in life.

Yes I agree with this, because when the ship is equalised with any one there will be no use having a ship docked in harbour or a person without making efforts every living being would struggle hard for one's survival that means every living being would definitely survive if it is not happening in one's life then there is no meaning of saying that the one was living.

Hi friends:

"Failure is the stepping stone to success". According to this key note, failure things comes in our life to gain some knowledge and to share some experience with others.

First thing in our life, is to know how to face the problem. Self confidence, motivation, eagerness to face the problem etc. , is the main thing to face the difficulties. Then automatically success will leads in our life with great potential.

A ship docked in harbor means always remain in home and not getting out to face the problem in not best approach. If you have to self dependent, ahead of everyone, self dependent, experience then instead of harbor you have to come out in the sea and face the storm means face the problem.

Hi friends.

First of all a ship docked in a harbour "will not" have any danger or difficulties. But how long it will stay in the harbour. One day or the other it has to come out of the harbour and sail in the sea. It is actually meant and manufactured for that. Then it has to face many difficulties. Then it faces difficulty in facing the problems then. If the ships are docked in the harbour, how will they reach their destination point and serve its purpose for what they are manufactured for. Similarly the life of any living being is same i.e. it has to know the world and it has to face every challenge and difficulties which come in their path of destination. People can simply sit in their homes but it is not the life is meant for.

Hi friends,

We may think success is a destination point, but in my view it's a journey of failures. Don't give up. You must not think the person preceded you having more talent than you, but make sure that you can reach him if you do more hard work than him.

This may be easy to say, but the real thing that counts is always destination should be in our mind, we shouldn't our's way as there are more obstacles, make sure that winner is the one who crossed more hurdles.

"A ship docked in harbor cannot face the storms" yes I definitely agree with this statement. Human being's life is full of difficult situations but the reward is many times better to face them but only who would be ready to try for them. Failure is a stepping stone towards success and we never should consider it our defeat because whatever happens "The show must go on".

Thomas Elva Edison who invented the light bulb failed for it 1000 times before making it but rather to get depressed of those he continued to try for it and at last he said that he showed the world 1000 ways in which a bulb cannot be made. Man's great strength lies in facing the situation rather than running away from them.

Well said unless you try something that you really wants, it will not happens magically but doing so someone sometime get success and someone not to those who have not succeed they can do better than first because they are firm with the way that will make them successful, they are more experienced one. So as ship travel and number of times travels, it knows how to tackle with storm.

So like wise failure in life doesn't depicts your quality rather than checked your patience, increase your ability to face the problem so my friend never be afraid of what you didn't got and look it as new opportunity, with complete freshness, with complete enthusiasm and most important with 100% efforts without hesitation.

Hello everybody,

I don't feel that a ship at dock does not face storms. In fact it is those people who do not work hard in life, face problems. Atleast a moving ship will have some self respect of having tried to cross the ocean and reach its destination. So I feel that this given phrase of "A ship at dock cannot face storms" is partially correct.

Thank you.
