He began by drawing a man 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, \his idea,\The world?\The teacher said, \close. This is your Comfort Zone. Inside your circle you have all the things that are important to you. Your home, your family, your friends and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any 3 .\
\over the room. The same student replied,\mistakes.\what can the result be?\
\（箭头） 5 from the man to the outside of the circle. He went on saying,\Zone, you put yourself out there, in a 6 that you are not comfortable with, The result is that you learn something that you did not know and you enlarge your knowledge to become a better person.\（原来的）circle, and 7 a few new things like more friends, a big house, etc.
