Comfort zone is the mental place surrounded by borders in our mind where we feel secure.Even though this comfort area and its boundaries are just a state of mind that has nothing to do with reality，it plays a huge role in the progress of our development.Since the comfort zone is limited，there is not much benefit for you inside your comfort zone.Nothing new will happen until you open yourself and leave your comfort zone.
Even though your background may be affecting your present situation，what really matters is not where you were born，your skin color，race，age，gender，religion，government，or even the poor environment in which you have been living for so many years，but what really matters and makes a big difference in your life is your attitude，to understand your comfort zone，how you limit yourself within it，who you are，why you behave the way you do it，and mainly where you are going.
Sadly many people don’t go anywhere because they stay within their comfort zone.They accept defeat after defeat before even trying or knowing how capable or valuable they really are.These circumstances are not the cause of our actual situation but the conformism (因循守旧) and the poverty of our thoughts and therefore the weakness of our broken spirit. Leave your past behind；constantly transcend (超越) your comfort zone！Your past within this comfort zone is nothing but a wasted load that you don’t need to carry at all.
Take constant action as many times as it is required and never，never quit. As Napoleon Hill said，“A quitter never wins and a winner never quits. Defeat is never a failure；no circumstance ever is failure until it is accepted by the individual as a failure.” Nothing is impossible for an optimist attitude；everything is possible when we start blindly trusting ourselves，when we have a burning desire to succeed and a blind determination to make our dreams come true；everything is possible when we don’t take a no for an answer.

After Mom died, I began visiting Dad every morning before I went to work. He was frail and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading, "Drink your juice." Such a gesturere, I knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom "Why doesn't Dad love me?" Mom frowned, "Who said he doesn't love you?" "Well, he never tells me," I complained. "He never tells me either," she said, smiling. "But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us."
I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap (片) metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. Dad hand fed scrap steel into a device that chopped as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors. with blades thicker than my father's body. If he didn't feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. "Why don't you hire someone to do that for you?" Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment. "Why don't you hire a cook?" Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.
Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, "I love you, Dad." From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.
