The Importance of Taking Risks in Life
IELTS Writing Task 2
Response: It is crucial for people to be risk-seekers in terms of personal and professional aspects. While there are some undeniable drawbacks in taking risks, I think merits of choosing risks are more considerable, which both of them will be discussed in the following essay.
When people make risky decisions, they may face some problems in their practical and private aspects of their lives. Regarding making unexpected professional decisions, they may lose their positions of their current work if they want to change their career. For instance, if someone threaten his career life to change his workplace suddenly, this person may find it difficult to find a well-paid job. In addition to this, if he or she cannot find his or her desired work, they find it difficult to return to their initial job. Moreover, when people decide to make a dangerous change in their personal lives and want to borrow a huge amount of money, they may not be able to run up huge debts because clearing debts requires managerial knowledge.
However, people need to embrace risks in their lives to achieve its benefits in their personal lives. Life without taking risks is boring to people, so if they do repetitive activities, they experience meaningless lives. On the contrary, a life with fluctuation enlightens people’s minds because the more actions they do, the more their brains process information. Consequently, they can make wiser decisions in different parts of their lives. Additionally, they are more experienced in different aspects of their lives, so they recognize that they enjoy having a sense of accomplishment, which results in sensing usefulness.
Furthermore, when people prefer to experience risky lives, they will have more opportunity to become successful in their practical aspects of their lives. When people want to become successful in their studies, they need to avoid working for a long time, which is a risky decision, especially in the countries suffer from economic issues, such as inflation. Nevertheless, when they become successful in their exams, they can make bright futures for themselves. For example, Mohammad Reza Aref who was a talented student at Tehran University, sacrificed his job in order to focus on the subjects of his university more deeply. His risky decision took off, and he could create educational prospects for himself as he could gain high marks, and could be accepted in Sharif University of Technology as a professor. Therefore, when people accepts risks, they will be able to become successful in their professional lives.
In conclusion, with regard to decide in a risky manner, people may encounter some problems, namely job losses and facing financial complicated situation, while there are some benefits of making risky decisions, including climbing educational ladder and enjoyment of lives. I believe that positive points have more weight than the negative ones.
