A ship docked in harbor cannot face the storm. In my point of view every goals can be achieved by facing some big or short type of difficulties, without difficulties one can get his goal only in dreams but we all know dreams are ideal that not real. If we have some goals then we have some barrier on that way, if we faced that then goals in our hand.
Let us I try to express technically function of ship cross the river from one destination to other, but on the way there is a barrier called storm comes, but if ship not face the storm can it reached to his destination? No, similarly a man wants to set up a business of his own if he afraid about future loss can he become a successful business man? No, so each and every goals there are some storms that we have to face to defeat it and get our goals.

There are different stages of life and in each we have our personal experiences. Our initial stage is our childhood in which we are dependent to our elders our parents we learn everything from them each and every experience teaches us how to respond in the near future which similar to the way a ship docked in the harbor prepares itself to sail towards its destination.
Once the ship leaves the harbor it Jas complete it journey alone it has face every situation by its own. In the same once we grow it our responsibility to face every situation by our own following the knowledge and learning we gained during our early stages. Once we know our destination its our duty to choose the right path to achieve the goal but if we remain dependent for our own jobs we will never learn to to face difficulties.

The only way to face the world bravely is to face the storms. 'Storms are just like the stepping stones to success'. Of course every one of us wants to be succeed in lie some or the other way, its not just (bed of roses) flowers of success that we meet in our day to day life its also some failures that shape our future (like there are also some thrones in beautiful roses).
A ship that is docked in the harbor has loosen its ability to strive, once its brought out of it and made fit for sailing we are sure its going to rock. Its the same with us, we have been the 'docked ship' that is till our childhood in our parents shelter (harbor). But as an graduate its time for breaking the shell heading to face the storm (the outside world). I am sure each one of us are going to rock our journey of life.

Yes I completely agree with this saying that "A ship docked in harbour cannot face the storms", which means that if a person is not moving in his life, than he cannot face all the problems in life. If a person is doing nothing, than he can never progress in life. One Should know about their strengths and weaknesses. He/She should work on their weakness. Running or not reacting to the problem is not a solution to tackle the problem. Problem is only overcomed by facing and solving the problems. For example if one is afraid of falling from a bike, so he thinks that I will not drive the bike, if I will drive than I will fall. Then he is never going to learn how to drive the bike. We should look for the possibilities for solution of the problems. By this way we can live our life delightfully.

After complicating among thousands of sperm cells we entered to this comparative world. We had struggles a lot in our mother stomach for our birth, in the same manner we should struggle a lot to reach our goals. Sea seems flat from outside, we know its depth only when drown into it. Life is race we are the racers, we should competitive each and every minute, in fraction of seconds we may miss our goal.
To accomplish our targets we are like a sailing ship not as ship docked in the harbor. Waves in the seas are struggles in our life. As ship move forward by crossing each and every wave. We should also reach our goals by crossing all difficulties faced in our life's. I conclude ship docked in harbor is equal to man with full of laziness. Even he is talented his laziness kills him.

'Biggest risk is not taking any risks'. True, indeed. There are endless quotes and sayings which support the topic but quoting real life examples would be of better. As a child I was scared to ride a bicycle and would shudder at the very moment I used to see my father take out the bicycle for me to ride. I was scared to crash it in a road, hurt myself and my father was more perturbed if I would hurt anyone else with it.
Jokes apart, he told me that if I try I would fall off or not for the first time. But if don't try again and again, I would not be able to experience the joy of cycling once I learn it.
The fear in you might stop you for once, but the slightest hope of joy will always keep you going. Rock the ship, it's time to face the storm.

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.

I think it is completely true. And applicable yo all area's of life. If you just noticed about the life story of any world class or successful person then you will get the actual meaning of it. Human mankind learn from their mistakes their past experience but if you don't try then how will you get the experience about it.
Here I want to mention the two lines of J. K. Rolling "some failures in life are educate you will not succeed until you failed at something unless you lived so preciously such that you did not face the problem in that case you failed by devote ".
Like an ant or small child we need to fall and stand up to make to achieve the goal in life. It sucks while doing it what matters at the end is your success.

Lets be realistic, life in its any form has difficulties to live along with. The type of difficulty is subjective to the person and scenario. Its easy to say that "Go live your Fear" or " Go against the Flow" but what it actually requires is the self realization that I need to give away anything that is weighing me down (read Anchor).
Just even the self realization is a big step. Realization to leave everything behind and go out face the life in its real form. Now, the Anchor has many form too. Its not just fear. It can be emotion or feeling attached to somebody too. What if the feeling is not fear of failure and its fear of success. All we need to do is realize.

A ship Docked in Harbor cannot face the Storms is very good phrase it means if you want to do something in your life you can but for that you have to be hard work gradually, you should not stop yourself from doing hard work in any situation, sometimes it could happen that you have to be faced some form of criticism and also it possible that a moment will come in your life where you will lose your thinking ability and it will become too hard to yourself that what should do or don't, and in that situation your willpower should be worked and after that you will backup yourself to the previous track because of your hard worked. And there will be the day when you will get kudos from everyone for your hard labor.
