The given flow chart represents the standardized process of getting an US driving permit. A brief overview is that the process begins with visiting the licence centre and concludes with passing the test prior to receiving the licence. Regarding the preparation stage, people are first required to complete an application at the licence centre only to have their eyes checked. After passing the eye test, they will proceed to pay a fee as failing results in no licence after which the procedure will carry on to the actual test. Turning to the actual exam, a written test must be taken and re-taken if necessary until the minimum requirements are met. After completing the written test, the driving test will take place in which failing leads to no re-do which further required to re-pay the fee to try again the whole testing process.

It is important for people to take risks, both in their professional lives and their personal lives. Do you think the advantages of taking risks outeigh the disadvantages?It is often argued that taking risks in both professional and personal lives is essential. While there are potential disadvantages to risk-taking, I believe the benefits far outweigh them. Risks can not only prepare individuals for an unpredictable future but also foster a fearless mindset, both of which are crucial for personal and professional growth.
To begin with, taking risks opens up opportunities that can lead to a more prosperous future. The uncertainties of later stages in life mean that no one can predict what will happen. By embracing risks, people increase their chances of achieving success, even if the outcome is not guaranteed. For instance, if an individual decides to invest a portion of their earnings, despite the inherent risk of losing money, the potential return could be significant and life-changing. Without taking this risk, the money might otherwise be spent on non-essential activities, such as dining out or entertainment, which offer no long-term financial benefits. Similarly, in personal life, starting a new relationship involves the risk of emotional vulnerability. While there are no guarantees that a relationship will last or bring happiness, taking that leap often leads to growth and meaningful connections.
Furthermore, a fearless mindset, essential for both personal and professional success, is developed through risk-taking. People who consistently take risks are often more resilient and better equipped to handle challenges. Many successful leaders, for example, built their careers by confronting obstacles head-on rather than avoiding them. These individuals learned early on that facing uncertainties strengthens their problem-solving abilities and enables them to achieve their goals. The well-known saying "no risk, no gain" holds true, as those willing to take calculated risks often reap the rewards, developing a mindset that is critical for long-term success.
Admittedly, taking risks does carry the potential for failure or loss. There is always a chance that an investment may not yield returns or that a relationship may not work out. However, these potential drawbacks are outweighed by the personal growth and opportunities that come from stepping out of one's comfort zone. Without risk, people would remain stagnant, unable to adapt to the unpredictable nature of life. It is through risk-taking that individuals learn valuable lessons, regardless of the immediate outcome.
