A Ship Docked in Harbor cannot face the Storms

Everyone on earth takes birth or exists for a purpose. This may be a self-defined goal or a social responsibility or anything. Everyone's life is directed towards the accomplishment of the objective. Although, one accomplishment leads to the desire for a new goal. Success lies in such accomplishments.

The purpose of a seed to provide food and shelter and reproduce. The purpose can be achieved only if the seed comes out of its comfort zone, i.e. the nurturing soil. The seed's life is successful, only when it cracks the earth and comes out to grow into a tree. It is said, "Too much of anything is bad". If the same seed, fails to grow and come out of the comfort zone to face the atmosphere, the same earth which was supposed to nurture it will end up spoiling the same. A rotten seed is of no use.

Similarly, an un-harbored ship invites rust and damages itself. Over-pampered or lazy people who deny leaving their comfort zones, are never successful. To enjoy success, one needs to face challenges and difficulties of life.

Remember,

A ship can sail against the storms and realize its potential, only if it is un-harbored.

This topic for me is the personification of individuals reluctant to outreach beyond their conventional comfort zone.

Just as a ship docked at harbout "limits" its abilities to sail and reach lands beyond and unseen, individuals too grip themselves firmly to their comfort zones in fear of being a failure and could not achieve what seems impossible.

If one succeeds it adds to his morale and if fails, adds to his experience thus preparing him for the "storm" forthcoming in his later life.

Hey, all!

I also believed that a ship docked in a harbor cannot face the storms. That's what sayings such as "Failure is the stepping stone to success" imply. But when I see certain Indian girls who have been raised as princesses, oblivious to all hardships, succeeding in leading a family, abiding by the rules and regulations of the society and surviving in a new household after marriage, I feel the saying is wrong. They manage to learn, adjust and are willing to take up on any storm.

The statement is a reality in most of the occasions but sometimes the vibrations are felt even in the Harbor. And as the time goes on those vibes can turn out in a massive damage. If we aren't capable of resisting the impact. Isn't it? So, it's necessary to have an update on the environment which signifies a need for the ship to come out of the Harbor in order to preserve herself for the future.

I think that a ship docked in the harbor cannot face storms. Let's take an example of Lord Buddha, he was a king enjoying a lavish life with his wife until he came across the harsh realities of life that is suffering, old age death. Then he went on to explore the realities of life and enlightened the world with his teachings. If we talk about a harbored ship, it would eventually form rust and would be of no use likewise if we won't face any storms (hardships) that life would be a burden. Without striving, you won't get any idea to tackle it. So let's unleash the ship so that it will fulfill its purpose and sail it across and against the channel.

I think hard work is necessary to achieve the goals or destiny of your life. Without hardwork the person cannot able to take the right decision on the difficult situation in life.

Hi friends!

As we all have the thought as success and failures are the rival. But it's wrong, the both is like a best friends. Failure is the 1 going to help a person to get great success. The person who get a success after him or her failure are the person who can face the problem over their.

Being in the safe zone one is deprived of the realities of the world. One cannot know the actual of the battle field being in the safe mode. It is very easy to talk about the war ethics sitting in the safe territories of the kingdom.

So one should face the tests of the world, because the tests of the world will test your patience, tolerance your moral ethics, tactics with which you handle the situations and ultimately will make you all set to fight the challenges of the world. So, come forward and challenges the world.

Hello friends.

In my opinion, a ship docked in harbor cannot face the storms. Is similarly the person facing difficulties in life. A person who has only success in life can never know the taste of actual success that comes after failure.

Here the person who has only success doesn't know how failure will be & if failure comes to him, he may not be able to face those difficulties but the person who face success after failure can surely face any kind of difficulties. So the life with difficulties will help us to know the actual happiness of success.

Hello everybody,

I don't feel that a ship at dock does not face storms. In fact it is those people who do not work hard in life, face problems. Atleast a moving ship will have some self respect of having tried to cross the ocean and reach its destination. So I feel that this given phrase of "A ship at dock cannot face storms" is partially correct.

Thank you.
