# Comfort zone, tender pitfall, perish trap （100%的安全感，不过是“逍遥陷阱”）

We are scared of insecure, uncertainties. We like to stay in our nice and cozy comfort area, pretend nothing will be changed .

That's pretty much where in our nature, since always.  

When that six miles diameter meteor smashed into Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula sixty-five million years ago, when the thick cloud of sulfurous dust thrown up into the atmosphere caused the sun's rays completely blocked for ages, when the whole planet was thrust into darkness and intense cold, our great-grandmother, which by some six to ten million generations, - actually, a small squirrel-like timid animal, luckily survived in a dark and humid cave. If she is an adventurer full of energy and exploring spirit, if she also had those "obvious" survival natures - namely big and fast as dinosaur, there won't be one of her great-grand-grand-...-grandson named Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.

Our little weak ancestor must hide and stay in that safety comfort zone, but not us not nowadays. Our little weak ancestor must hide and stay in that safety comfort zone, but we don't have to anymore, and we shouldn't.

Working as an engineer, we jump into pain, we test thousands of hundreds times before the system can go live. We backup, we bug fixing, we hotfixing as much as needed, even seldom one knows how much efforts behind that. Many times they are more than painful, exactly as introspection, self-examination and reexamination.

Every morning we stand in front of that mirror, tell the person standing in the other side: get out from the comfort zone, jump into uncertainty, jump in to the real life. We never learn new things without the first pain, we won't feel it is real until lost something, or someone. Let life challenges you, drop off 100% safety feelings and embrace the risks.

It could suck, but you gonna love it.
