"Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors" is a common proverb meaning that people who do not face challenges will not develop the skills necessary to succeed in life. It is often attributed to ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, though it is unclear if he actually said it. Some examples of situations in which this concept applies include a student who does not challenge themselves in school, a businessperson who does not take risks, and an athlete who does not practice and improve their skills. Each of these people may find themselves unprepared for future challenges in their life.
