Hi everyone. All of you are familiar with the saying "life is not what you order". Sometimes things won't turn out according to your plan. Life is full of unexpected events. Now if you face it, you will be rewarded with experience and if something like that occurs in the future you can face it with ease. But if you ignore it and something like that occur in the future you won't be able to face it. These group of words can be explained by the idiom "a ship docked in harbor cannot face the storms.

Here ship means life and storm means unexpected events or difficulties.

Let me give some examples like Lionel Messi - one of the Best in the football, Sachin Tendulkar started playing cricket when he was four. They wouldn't be who they are if they wouldn't have come out of their comfort zone.

Another Great example is of Abraham Lincoln Who has to fight against his entire cabinet to pass the bill for the freedom of the slaves. What if he would have given up at that time. In other words success is cannot be achieved without facing difficulties.

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.

A ship docked in the harbor cannot face the storms. This line can be compared to our life. Our life is full of ups and downs sometimes we succeed other times we lose. We need to come out of our comfort zone to face the difficulties and hurdles. If you overcome these, success is in our hands.

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 I would like to phrase my views for this topic.

We all know life is a long chain of process. In this process you will interact with lots of storm with lots of pain but we should never surrender rather then we should fight with this storm and go ahead with the ambition to have eventually bliss in your life. Running with your responsibilities doesn't assist you in your life to succeed. Instead of escaping your life valuable moment one should take the life as an Adventure and sail with time.

Life is like a waves and tides, there will always be accent and decent in the voyage of life but rather being escaping it cowardly its always better to face it boldly and acquire with destination. For how long one would not face challenge, one day will be at the moribund stage then there would not be any ways to escape it, you have to endure it whether you wanted it or not. So my conclusion is that ultimately we all have to face the storm one day so why don't we experience with it now along the journey of the life and try to conquer this world of yours. Once you conquer your destination with all this adversities then you will know, yeah you had your life and you will find everything beautiful around you, so don't give up and just TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY AND TRY.

I totally agree with a topic because sitting in one place and hoping for success without facing problems you won't be able to achieve whatever you are waiting for.

Suppose a company is launching a new product and not applying marketing strategy then how will it's product will be popular, the company won't be able to penetrate in the market, and maybe won't be contributing in whole market share.

"Life is not a bed of roses".

The god has gifted us this life to do something that can set examples for others, As we all know that "Successful persons not do the different things, they do it differently" and in their journey many times they face difficulties and failure but patiently they do their task and ultimately they achieve success.

A ship docked in harbor cannot face the storm means if we are not moving in life we will not achieve the success in life, accept the challenges take a chance is only the mantra to achieve the success. If we cannot move because of the fear of failure, we will miss some great opportunity in life.

Many great leader in our country faces many failure before became the successful person like Abraham Lincoln, so there is need to come out from the comfort zone of your life to face the storm (difficulties) to achieve the success.

'A ship Docked in Harbour cannot face the storms'.

Yes, I agree with this statement. The cozy lifestyle will never help us grow strong enough to tackle the real life situations. But before we go to face challenges, one should be prepared enough to know how to face challenge and march forward in life. The goal is also needed to chosen intelligently.

Today right from childhood we are pampered by so many luxuries, modern amenities, gadgets etc. Which make us feel that we are very happy and I don't have to make any efforts for anything. But when grown up one faces obstacle at every point of time. He has to take decisions himself.

So he is already facing difficulties and problems every time but he should guidance and apply his own knowledge to tackle it. Because the reality is far more complicated than we think of. Also one cannot go avoiding the reality.

So please think of you, your goal, process etc. And make endeavors to get. Keep remembering life is a bed of roses. We are always getting illusioned in so many ways. Find a path to achieve the aim.

Thank you!

Hi friends,

It's truly said that 'A ship docked in Harbour cannot face the storms'. For few seconds go to your past, recollect those childhood memories. While learning to walk holding our parents hand, we must have fallen so many times but we used to stand up and walk again. This very picture can clearly say what actually life is.

We all fail, we fall, but in order to master our life we have to stand up again, just in the same way how we have mastered the art of walking:P. Moreover, gold cannot be purified without fire and diamonds are nothing but the chunks of coal stick to their jobs. So I believe, In order to reach our destination, we have to sail our ship, and the storms actually help us to know the real quality of ship. If ship will get across then we can know the potential and if not then we also don't need to worry, we can work in order to improve the ship and will get across next time:).
