Man’s Comfort zone



Man learns when he challenges himself. He learns his limitations and strengths. The way his takes decision,  is constantly making changes in his capacity to take up unseen risks. It is said that man is always a student in this world which senses as a school. Though the man knows  that he will not succeed, he takes the RISK because he knows that if he risks his life he can be a better person and also build up more self confidence in himself. This idea comes from the saying where there is a will there is a way. The more he takes risk, the more experienced he will be in a young age. This knowledge helps him in building his career and future plans in life.  In order to experience something new and different he has to come out of his comfort zone. For him this zone is hard to leave as he has been living in it for many years and is well acquainted with his life.
It is a big challenge for me to come out of India by myself to Canada and live here for a Rotary year. Everybody cannot do that. In this experience, no student knows how the people will react. At first, the student is excited as he is going to a totally new and different world. He is excited because he has always longed for adventure in North America by himself on the Rotary exchange. Everything is so different. Getting adjusted in a totally different cultural family is a big challenge. Going to a new school which he has never seen before is big challenge because he is not sure how the kids attitude will be and the teachers are also different. Changing families, going to a Rotary meeting regularly, to keep on smiing all the times are big challenges. Doing things that he has never done before since the day he was born is the toughest challenge in his life. Though, there are many ups and downs he tries to make the best of the year.
Going downhill skiing is a challenge for a person who has never ever felt the touch of the snow. But he takes the challenge so that he can know what are his pros and cons. Also by doing such an activity he can socialize and mix in the Canadian culture and also the Canadians develops an ear for his culture too. He does everything that a normal teenager his age would do and guess what he is the best of all his classmates back home and also in the foreign country. People slowly invite him to social gatherings and that’s how the intercultural experience for him and the natives around becomes a memorable one.
Taking the Vandee Globe’s challenge is a real risk. But some people take it. Taking such risks is a part of their lives. It’s the humblest kind of expression. They have been challenging themselves throughout their lives. They feel that they could learn much more by taking up such risks. No matter what other people say but they take up such tasks. I belong to those kind of people who think that it is their right to take up risks and they will take up risks no matter what people say.
