Answer 1

a ship docked in harbour cannot face the storm, wel how is it possible when a person facing a problem, does he not come out of that after a while, its ur attitude and passion for the work which keeps you tied with it.

Answer 2

Well,it seems like a good topic, but we are not sure what sort of help you need.  "Cannot weather the storm" might be a good choice of words.  If it is help with a homework topic, try reposting in Homework Help and you should get some responses.  You may want to add more details.  Best of luck.

Answer 3

This refers to the fact that in a storm, a boat can weather a storm best if it is "bow into", or heading into, the wind, waves, and storm. The worst position for a boat to be in a storm is broadside to the waves, where it is most likely to take water over the side.

However, I have been a boater for 20 years, and during many storm, I can tell you that I would much rather had been in a harbour than at sea.

The saying may not be referring to a ship at all, the "ship" may be a metaphor for life; and storm may imply life's problems. You can't deal with life's problems unless you get out of the "harbour" and face them.

Good luck.
