The Comfort Zone





According to Wikipedia, the comfort zone is a psychological state in which a person feels familiar, at ease, in control and experiences low anxiety and stress. I am prone to stuck in the comfort zone. Although minus the low level of anxiety and stress.

I started teaching in 2013, and before that, I've spent almost eight years in a logistic company, doing a variety of works. It was a comfort zone then, and it took so many years for me to realize that I had to try other things. I once watched in Youtube the late Steve Jobs' speech in a graduation ceremony, titled "How to live before you die."  It was a great speech, many good quotes in that speech. One of the quotes, he said, "Stay hungry, stay foolish." And I guess that quote have inspired me to try to explore on new possibilities.

    1. I don't have the courage too. Just think about it, once you are in the "new" zone, that zone will soon become another comfort zone too.
