Some people like to try new things, for example, places to visit and types of food. Other people prefer to keep doing things they are familiar with. Discuss both these attitudes and give your own opinion.

We can broadly categorise
people
into two main segments: the
first
segment of
people
are comfortable with living in the same place, eating the same types of food, having a career that involves pretty much doing the same thing and taking almost no
risks
, while others are completely the opposite who find the meaning of
life
through
risks
and
challenges
and are not afraid of trying new
things
. Personally, I like to take
risks
, face
challenges
and enjoy the diversity of the world through travelling and favour the
second
group of
people
.
People
who avoid
challenges
or scarcely try new
things
are comfortable with the lifestyle they already have. They do not want to make
life
complicated by taking on new
challenges
that might bring misery or dissatisfaction to their
life
.
Such
people
are often contended with whatever they have and wish to stay in their comfort zone. Since they are afraid of failure, their
success
is
also
limited. We can see many
people
around us who fall in
this
category, who, despite seeing potential in a new career, never dare to change their existing job or even detest the idea of trying new food.
On the other hand
, there are
people
who believe that change is constant and that taking on
challenges
is something that makes
life
thrilling and enjoyable. They embrace new ideas, travel to difficult places, try new food, experience diversity of
life
and culture, and get easily bored doing the same thing for a long. These
people
take
risks
that bring
success
. But
such
success
is not always guaranteed as failure can
also
befall them. I
also
know
such
people
, and I consider myself one of them. They are often the trailblazer and inventors, builders and creators of new
things
and ideas.
For instance
, despite having a good job in a multinational company, one of my cousins started a boutique business. No one
initially
supported his move, but now he is so successful that many others cite him as an example of
success
. In conclusion, being in the comfort zone, doing familiar
things
and taking minimal
risks
may guarantee comfort and stability in
life
but real
success
and great inventions and ideas come from taking
risks
and embracing
challenges
. I am always in favour of the
second
type of attitude that makes
life
worth living.
