Some people like to do only what they already do well. Other people prefer to try new things and take risks. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.
Whether doing only what we are skilled at, or TACKLING new CHALLENGES, depends on each person. I would prefer to try new things, AND I AM NOT AVERSE TO taking moderate risks. The reasons of my preference will be explained as follows.
On the one hand, it is of THE utmost important to be good at one thing at least. That is why many people remain doing exactly what their capabilities allowed them to do. Namely: sports-men. When they extremely excel in an activity, they are fully dedicated to that. However, so immerseD are they IN THEIR QUEST to reach perfection, that they cannot envision themselves succeeding in other fields.
What is more, performing the same tasks day after day may probably lead them to live a monotonous lifestyle. Boring routines can deplete them physically and mentally.
Additionally, they may be afraid of being considered losers if they fail when experiencing new activities. Hence, they like living in a controlled environment, instead of having some thrill and spice in their lives.
On the other hand, other people want to make progress in a variety of activities, because they believe that some flavors need to be added to their lives. Therefore, they are ADDICTED to adventuresome experiences, not only when going to exotic places, but also in their daily lives. For instance, celebrities who sing, act and dance can also make it in the world of fashion, journalism, and the like.
Moreover, adventurous activities may keep them feeling alive; in that, their health will benefit from pumping THEIR adrenaline up on a regular basis.
Furthermore, they are willing to take risks, and they RISE up when failing again and again. They certainly acquire lots of knowledge FROM their failures and their encounters with unknown situations.
To sum up, I would rather BE a moderate adventurer, because making a comfortable living is my first priority, but with a (little daily) something DIFFERENT TO make me really enjoy life. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Have you grown tired of getting tens Mil? LOL. TRY HARDER!
