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.

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.

Hello friends, I feel that the topic succinctly states the reality of life that if a person does not try, he or she will not face any difficulties. But that is not a good thing. In order to prove yourself, in order to test your capabilities, in order to get to truly know oneself one has to try.
Storm signifies the difficulties in life, but only if the ship sets sail will it face a storm, only if you try will you face difficulties and only then will you know your true self. The world is a place of unimaginable number of opportunities, and satiation in a place like this will only lead to degradation.

First of all I would like to say "life is a challenge". To get success, we need to move forward without bothering about the failures what we face because we can learn more new things from that failures and can find a better solution.
And success won't come in first step we need to try again and again until it comes without loosing our confidence. One who are not ready to face the difficulties/risks in life then he never know the meaning of success.
Happiness comes when we find a solution to a difficult situation.
And finally to become successful be positive, confident yourself, try for best.

Hello friends,
Well ships are safest at the harbor, But it is not the purpose, what they are made for the same thing can be applied to our life. We always scare of failure. But some failure of life are inevitable, unless you have lived so cautiously that you might have not lived at all. So we should not scare of failure. But we always scare failure and try not to take risk. We consider ourselves in the safe side. But this is not the way for success.
We should learn from our failure, we should use our failure as Armour and move forward. Then only we can taste the flavor of success.

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!

Hey,
I agree with the topic that a ship docked in harbour cannot face the storms. If we just be in our comfort zone then we could not recognize the true ourself. Once you get out of your comfort zone and tackle the situations well then you will not only tackle the situations but also you get the confidence and believe that you could also do it and you are not dependent. I could say this with my own experiences.
So, to gain confidence one should get out of comfort zone and should tackle the situations by their own and become an independent and confident person.
Thank you!

I totally concur with the topic because in life none of the things ain't easy to get. For example, if you want something than you would have to go to your father and ask earnestly about it not that your father will intuitively know what you want.
It is you who have to come a step forward. A person sitting in the stands cannot become a great player unless he comes into the field and play. The people who always finds the thing too easy to get can't sustain when subjected to adverse conditions. A value of a real gold is only visible when it is subjected to immense flame.

Life is all about taking the risk, one can't succeed in life until he passes by million of difficulties.
The survival of the fittest is a base of ones living.
A ship docked in a harbor can't experience thunder, lightning, storm and can't prove it metal until tested in an open ocean. As experience always tends to perfection. The day when we all will understand our duties, responsibilities, aim no one would be able to stop us. Once the ship sails into the ocean face the storm and reach its destination it gets success. So live your life, enjoy it never oppose it.

Here the the vast ocean is compared to the enjoying beautiful life & unless the person takes the voyage, it becomes dry. When there are difficulties only the happiness tastes the best. Restricting oneself to small periphery, not taking the challenges in life is like the stagnant water which is going smell bad i.e. such a person won't motivate the society rather degrade it. Going ahead to face troubles in life, tolerating them with patience, learning from the failures can only make the statement glorious " FAILURES ARE THE STEPPING STONES FOR THE SUCCESS".
