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 outweigh the disadvantages?
Taking
risks
has proven to be a crucial aspect of life as it can affect people
's lives, both professionally and personally. In my opinion, I think that taking risks
can cause problems compared to any advantages it might bring.
Admittedly, there are some benefits to taking risks
. Firstly
, valuable experiences can be gained due to
not repeating the same actions every day and being adventurous. This
is because our everyday routines and habits do not yield a chance for new opportunities and therefore
nothing further
can be learned from them. A great example of this
is employees who get promoted at work as a result
of trying new approaches and methods at work, however
risky they might be. Secondly
, people
will become more confident if they take chances. Even if a risk does not go according to
the plan, it will give them a sense of accomplishment. As a result
, they will be proud of themselves for their bravery and courage. A study on teenagers, who were risk-takers, showed they were more certain of themselves.
Nevertheless
, despite the advantages above, I believe that people
could face serious drawbacks by trying new and different things. One problem is that it might lead to embarrassment. People
, who are not familiar with the way an action is carried out, will inevitably make mistakes which might make them embarrassed. Take, for instance
, young children. Once they make a mistake and feel shy, they hide in their bedrooms, which is a negative development. Another possible issue is that business owners who take uncalculated risks
might lose their business entirely. This
can be seen in entrepreneurs who decide without considering the potential risks
and lose their profits.
In conclusion, feeling embarrassed or losing a business far outweighs any of the minor benefits that could result from taking risks
