Importance Of Taking Risks In Life

Superior Essays
It's better to take the risks to make life more fun in ways you can't think of. If we didn't take risks in life we wouldn’t have any fun and we wouldn't have any inventions and the world would be in stone age again, But we did take risks and now we are venturing into the future. I know that if we didn't take risks our world would be safer, but the people that took a risk made history like Thomas Edison who made the first light bulb. It is better to take risks and make mistakes because you can learn from your mistakes, you can achieve more, and you can learn about what you like and dislike.

First, its good for taking risk is because we can learn from our mistakes. For Example, When we first learn how to ride a bike, we fall off, we learn that we won't fall if we balance, so our mind tells our body to balance so we do not fall. Also, when we learn how to ride a dirt bike and we usually fall off and get back up or we get training wheels for our dirt bikes.

For Example, When you're about to go skydiving for the first time and you are scared of heights and you do not want to do it anymore, so you dislike doing that. My Mom always said, “If you never tried it how do you know you like it?”. When I went skydiving, I can admit I was very scared of heights at the time and I had to get over my fear and that's why I did it. That's when he said Jump and We all jumped out of the airplane and I thought I was going to pass out or die, but It was really pretty and we could do cool tricks and I thought I would hate it but I did not hate it at all! It was really fun and when we had to land I was sad because I wanted to do it more. That’s why taking risks are better than taking no risks at all. This is the last reason why you should take a risk is that you can find out what you like and dislike and this is my reason why it's better to take risks in

    "One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do,"this quote by Henry Ford reconnects when it comes to facing something you're afraid of; our fears. When we get over fears, we realize only then that we had the courage before to do that something we were afraid of doing. One time I was afraid was when I started ice skating.

    Moreover, everyday people have a choice in what they will say or do, thus people can make good things happen instead of bad simply by making better choices. To put it differently, when making a decision, it is important to determine the facts and identify the options. Next, the consequences for yourself and others must be considered; as for, everyone’s words and action have consequences and it is up to the doer to determine if they want to cause a positive or negative impact on those around them. Then the cycle would repeat for whoever is reacting to the original thing said or done, by that person deciding how they will react or if they will. For instance, someone can make the choice either choose to empower a person or tear them down, then they must choose what they want to do, if they choose to be friendly their actions would conclude in making friends.…
