In this idiom, ship refers to life. One cannot reach success without hardwork and difficulties you have to solve difficulties and do hard work to. Reach success same as a ship can't reach it's destination without going through storm.

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.

Ship docked in harbor cannot face the storms. A person explores himself, he must come out from the robot life. It would be anything company, place, religion. If person is under shelter or depending on something so he is difficult to understand real life.

I would say a person learns to face the challenges when he comes out from his fantasy world into real world. He'll win Not-immediately but definitely. Do not pray for an easy life, pray, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

Thank you.

'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.

This saying can be related with our life. As, a ship docked in a harbour ---Being intelligent & drawing a boundary to ourselves by thinking about what other's will think about us and leading a life within that boundary.

Cannot face the strom--- No courage to get out from that boundary. Having intelligence and being coward won't work.

So, face the strom with courage and intelligence. And don't allow anyone to stop you at any time, be a free bird and fly over any were you want.

It means the ship docked in the harbour cannot reach its destination. Without movement and without any action nobody can get anything. If you are stuck at the moment and dream of everything it is of no use. You have to move to get what you want. Same way if you have any thought you have to take a step, which is the first step to make your dream come true. The result is secondary, you may get it or not, never think of that. It creates a negative thought in you. Movement is necessary. Make a move, just don't be struck where ever you are. The very first step gives you confidence, later no one can stop you. Even you, can't stop yourself from moving.

It is true but it cannot be always docked in harbour. One day it also needs to go in sea.

And also have to face storm. It may not facing storm today but one day it will certainly found itself in storms. So keeping it in harbour to avoid the storm is not a solution we have to make it so strong that it can face any storm.

In real life it is true for ourself also we have to make ourself so strong that we can face any problem rather than avoiding it.

A Ship docked in harbor cannot face the storms. A person explores himself when he comes out from the comfort zone which parents provide. We can apply it on our lives as well.

According to me when a person is under parent's shelter he is unable to know how fast how competitive this world is just like a ship in harbor and the day when he (person) faces hurdles, he gets the spirit of fighting to succeed his goal.

So it is not wrong if I would say a person learns to face the challenges when he comes out from his fantasy world and fights with the storms.

Friends, there can be a number of interpretations of this phrase. When I heard the topic I could clearly relate it to the journey of life. A ship docked in harbor is a man, a human who is still clinging to his limitations and still is dependent on someone and fears risks and challenges. A ship docked in a harbor is a human who is still inside a shell and caught inside. It still fears to come outside of it. Can such a person ever be able to succeed?I feel that such a person would never be able to face storms of life -obstacles of life.

Therefore I conclude saying that it is important to come out of your comfort zone.

Hello, everyone.

The above topic implies that those who have always been nestled with utmost care and protection all their lives find it difficult to face the struggles of life. I completely agree with the topic as it clearly points out the importance of dipping a tow to the outer world. When life happens, and happens in its full might, to those in the protective shields, they always expect a guardian angel, a helping hand to face the perils.
