About 10 years ago, I started a job as a trainer . In one of my first classes, the head trainer told a very story that I would like to share with you.
He began by drawing a standing in the middle of a circle. To make it more interesting, he drew things like a house, a car, and a few friends inside the circle.
He asked the question, "Can anyone tell me what this is?" In a long silence, one guy decided to his idea, "the world?" The trainer said, "That's close and this is your Comfort Zone. Inside your circle you have all the things that are to you. Your home, your family, your friends and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any or conflict. "
"Can anyone tell me what happens when you step this circle?" A strong silence came over the room. The same eager guy announced, "You are afraid. " guy said, "You make mistakes. " The silence continued and the trainer smiled and said, "When you make mistakes, can the result be?" The first guy shouted, "You something. "
"Exactly, you are learning. " The trainer turned to the board and drew an arrow from the man directly to the outside of the circle. He continued to say, "When you leave your Comfort Zone you put out there, in front of the world to be in situations that you are not with. The end result is that you have learned that you did not know and you expand your knowledge to become a better person. " He turned again to the board and drew a circle around the original circle, and added a few new things like more friends, a bigger house, etc.
"The moral of the story is that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone, you will be able to expand your horizons and learn. When you step out of your Comfort Zone you will finally make your circle bigger and your mind grow stronger, and all in all a better person. "

Inventions named after people
Many new things are invented each year. Interestingly, some inventions are named after the people who invented them, making the inventions and inventors easier to be remembered.
The bowler hat is named after London hat-makers Thomas and William Bowler. The brothers received an order from Edward Coke, the younger brother of the 2nd Earl of Leicester. They were asked to design a hat for Coke’s gamekeepers to protect their heads from branches while on horseback. Later, the stylish hat became popular in Europe and the United States.
