It is important for people to take risks, both in their profeesional lives and their personal lives. Do you think the advantages of taking risks outweigh the disadvantages?

Risks

are meaningful for individuals both in their academic parts of life and in their personal

lives

. I strongly agree that the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. One of the merits of taking

risks

is that we can be successful by taking some

risks

in some fields. Scientists cannot run their experiments with 100% sure.

For example

, we cannot arrive at the moon without taking the

risk

of failure. They only minimize the

risk

.

However

, they cannot get rid of it. An additional benefit is that we will progress in taking

risks

. There is an old Chinese idiom that failure is the mother of success. Modern technology is built with failures.

For instance

, Apple company would not be successful if they gave up producing the MacBook. Steve Jobs took a big

risk

the

first

time releasing their computer and he failed with no surprise. But he did not give up designing the computer. He learned from his failure. In the end, MacBook became a big hit in the world.

Nevertheless

, taking

risks

has some downsides, one of which is that we might lose everything in our

lives

if we do it and fail. In our personal

lives

, that might not be very harmful to us. Sometimes we

risk

not only our

lives

but

also

risk

the

lives

of other people. Just

last

year, there was an accident in the Chinese labour. Four people died in that accident. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate the merits of taking

risks

. Our technology would not progress fast like these days without the sacrifice of taking

risks

.
