If You’re Not Outside Your Comfort Zone, You Won’t Learn Anything

[Joshua Farrell]

One of the many parts of being able to learn and potentially advance in your chosen job choice, is to put yourself outside of your comfort zone while on the job. This could be speaking up in meetings that you have to attend, to asking those questions that may seem awkward to ask or too stupid to ask.

And honestly, there is a phrase that goes with asking questions. The phrase, "All questions are technically stupid, if you refuse to ask it, or ask it repeatedly. Once you ask it, it will no longer be stupid, if you learn from the answer and end up not having the same question as before, but new questions. All in all, if you ask and learn nothing, the question remains as a stupid question."

One of the things I learned that would help with advancement, is that if you are working for a company that will actually pay based on your willingness to learn more about the job, and be willing to do more with that learning, that that particular company would naturally give you the pay raise if you actually ask for the pay raise, once you learned how to do a wider variety of on the job tasks.

So, what are your thoughts on doing things outside of your comfort zone, that allows for eventual learning of how to do a job better?

I disagree with you. Some people are naturally inclined to learning. There are set of people that need to leave their comfort zone to learn while others are passionate about learning anything you can think of.

It is critical to move outside of your comfort zone in order to gain new abilities and experiences. However, it is also crucial to know that this may be a challenging process, and that pushing yourself too far outside of your comfort zone is not always required. Instead, taking baby steps and progressively increasing the difficulty as you get more comfortable might be useful. Finally, the trick is to strike a balance between pushing yourself and staying inside your comfort zone.

Yeah, that is true. I guess the best way for some, is to just do what they are used to, as not everything needs to be learned the hard way.

Staying in your comfort zone will not make you productive because you will be comfortable and you will not want to do any other thing but you are surely going to regret this at the end

Well said, the only way to grow is to move out of your comfort zone. This is one reason why many do not grow from the level they are currently in at the moment. They assume they are okay and do not want to stress themselves.

The comfort zone may be very sweet and welcoming but we should stay away from it because it hinders us from improving
