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

#people #risk #lives #risks
Nowadays, A person who takes a
risk
 or has the ability to read or understand between the lines is successful. There was a time when people always advise others to avoid risky situations and try to make
decisions
 on logical grounds but now that theory is changing rapidly. In
this
 essay, I will discuss both advantages and disadvantages of taking
risks
 and share my findings.
One
 of the main advantages of taking
risks
 is you will reach your desired achievement or destination in a very short time.
For example
, if a person takes a
risk
 in his business and that
risk
 paid off
then
 he will earn a lot more money and will be in a better situation in his professional
life
 than others because the money he earns can be used to expand his business more rapidly.
Secondly
, sometimes people take risky
decisions
 in their personal
life
 when they are buying costly items like a house or a
car
.
For example
,
one
 of my friends was buying a new
car
 but he was not sure about which
one
 he should buy so he consult
one
 of his friends and take his purchasing
decision
 on his friend's advice. It was a risky call because he was not sure about that
car
 but
eventually

 once he bought that
car
 he like it very much and after using it for around 6/7 months the market value of that particular
car
also
 increased.
On the other hand
, if we talk about the disadvantages of
risk
then
 people argue that
one
 wrong
decision
 can alter the course of your professional as well as personal
life
 and might be you have to spend a few extra years to reach your previous level.
Similarly
, there is
also
 a possibility that the gain you achieved through risky
decisions
 will not remain forever. To make it
last
 longer, you have to work on your basics very hard because sometimes if you are successful in a risky deal or
decision
then
 you made that habit and take all your future
decision
 on the same principle that in long run might be harmful to your personal as well as professional
life
. To sum
up

 both in your professional or personal matters are essential for success but there are both positive as well as

 it. In my opinion, everyone should take
risks
 because the advantages of taking
risks
 are always greater than
disadvantages

 and only if a few of your risky
decisions
 are correct
then
 in the future you will be considered yourself
