Yes, I agree.

A ship docked in a Harbour cannot face the storms. It is an excellent phrase indicating our life journey. The only way to success is hard work. We want to face the challenges occur in our life. Never give up. So until we reach a stage which the world support us.

Thank you.

I totally support this statement. Hard work is the only thing that ascent you towards development. As our former president, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam said that "If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun". Hence, hard work is the key of success.

Hello. It's an old adage and according to me, everyone must have a vision as for a ship to reach a harbor, we will definitely face hurdles some of them are deliberately placed in front of us but we don't have give up. Have a vision in your eyes and encore that I will achieve my aim no matter what come may.

And finally you reach that stage of life where you will be safe but for that, you must have to work diligently.

As it is truly said no pain no gain. And once you achieve your goal the world is yours.

Thanks.

According to me the actual meaning of this phrase is, in your life, you will travel until and unless you will get success in your life, you will face so many difficulties like a ship while traveling but once you will get success no one can stop you like the ship reached the dockyard.

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.

Hello Everyone,

This is a topic which actually talks about our life, life is dynamic and we should always move forward, but that is only possible by trying.

Its like never losing just because you have never participated. But we should always try to meet the hurdles the difficulties, we will fall but by the experience only we can be successful in future.

Yes, I agree.

A ship docked in the harbour may be safe, but if you wanted something safe you would have a fortified defensive structure built and not a ship.

Safety is nice, but pushing yourself outside the comfort zone is sometimes necessary.

Not everything in life comes easy. It takes arduous effort, perseverance, tenacity and unwavering compassion to attain success or reach desired heights.

The prudence to prepare for unexpected and the skill of side-stepping trouble and embarrassment is important to strike balance between safety and risk, also to stay composed and collected without trepidation.

Hey Everyone!

I would like to go against this.

Even if the ship is docked in harbour might be possible that its design is far better to conquer the storms. Similarly if a person has a good will power, sharp mindset and is unidirectional in his thoughts will easily cross any hurdles.

Also the one who has fear of failing is more probable to fail then one who do not know what is failure. He will keep on moving with his work and may get success.

'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.

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.
