A ship docked in harbour cannot face storm.
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.

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.

Life do not come with bed of roses instead there are many thorns in the way. But a real soldier is who overcomes all the difficulties he faces in his path with patience. Happiness and grief are part of life. Like after every night there is morning. So to achieve success we have to travel through many difficulties. Difficulties help the person to become more strong and to face more challenging situation. So we should always try to find solution to the problem rather than escaping it.

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.

Hi friends,
Here it is well said, a ship docked in harbor cannot faced storm. Actually ship is made to enter into the sea and meet with many heavy storms and tidal and finally reached into its destination and for that it is honored. Same like life is also a journey where we face many difficulties though we have to walk, sometimes run for our destiny but instead if we sit aside from journey of life it will worthless of being human creature.
We never born worthless, its prove it.

True, because the storm surge will push the ship onto the dock or against other ships. Better to take it out to sea to avoid damage. The waves at the shore are often higher than at sea because of the shallow water near the dock causes the waves to crest, causing damage to boats docked there. Man made docks fail. That is why. To be at anchor in a Harbor or protected waterway is what smart Captains do with the vessels that they are responsible for.
If it is a Ship, they go to sea.

Hi friends,
We may think success is a destination point, but in my view it's a journey of failures. Don't give up. You must not think the person preceded you having more talent than you, but make sure that you can reach him if you do more hard work than him.
This may be easy to say, but the real thing that counts is always destination should be in our mind, we shouldn't our's way as there are more obstacles, make sure that winner is the one who crossed more hurdles.

Hello, Everyone.
"A ship docked in the harbor cannot face the storms".
The above statement marks a satire towards those people who are unwilling to face their problems or fears. As it is rightly said that "We realize our true potential when we conquer our deepest fear".
Moreover escaping from a fear may provide a relief for a while but the permanent solution can be only provided by crushing your fear by facing it as "Stars can't shine without darkness".

I completely agree with the statement. We can consider ourselves as ship and the obstacles are the new things that comes to our lives. We have apprehension about these things because we do not know about them. But as soon as we start facing this new task we will get new things to learn and we ultimately become master in it. We start to enjoy it later on. I want all of you to remember the time when we first started riding bicycle or any two wheeler or car.
