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

Nowadays, in order to be successful,

one

must sometimes take a chance and jump into the unknown. It might not always turn out the way we wish,

however

, the hope and the possibility of something great happening pushes us to take a

risk

.

This

essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of

this

phenomenon

while

contributing my opinion. On the

one

hand, many breakthroughs happen when we take a chance when we have

this

feeling in our gut that pushes us to do something that superficially nobody accepts or understands.

For example

, I never forget the time that I changed my major from physics to graphic design. I took a

risk

and trusted my feelings that graphic design would be a better career for me,

while

everyone believed that I was making a rash decision.

Although

changing my major was not an easy task and it took me a few years to enter the workforce , the result of that decision made a great progression in my professional life.

Conversely

, you can not always rely on your feelings

while

making a life-changing decision.

For instance

, a

can fully predict the future and

that is

why I believe before any action

should do all the necessary research and

listen to their feelings and

take the
