Risk Taking
Tuesday, January 28, 2014
Our responsibilities to each other when we communicate should utilize an open mind to ideas, topics and arguments made by one another, and if you must oppose their side or if you create a side in an argument that you stand on you should provide credibility toward that argument so you're not portrayed as someone who makes something up. There should be respect and professionalism shown in serious topics. The way something is said is the way something should be addressed, if something is playful and fun you maybe should avoid your realistic philosophy on their topic. I believe any critique or comment if its nice or mean in a way is helpful, even when you just say "Nice!" it satisfys' the writer that someone actually read it.
I
believe the key to success can be summarized by one rule: accept a challenge.
Taking a challenge can be difficult, but can surely assist you in being
successful. I have experienced many times of taking a risk. One of those risks
was achieving my career status. I came to learn that without pushing myself to
my goal, I would have had a hard time getting there. I believe that taking a
challenge is the key to success because when I look at intelligent and
well-known scientists, presidents, and business men, I notice they achieved
their positions by meeting challenges head on.
Taking
a risk can be setting a goal for myself or simply going with my gut feeling.
For example, I was always interested in the economy and cars. I had to take a risk either keep my minimum
wage job at a grocery store or do something I always wanted for a much better
pay check. I decided to take that risk. Ever since I took this risk I haven’t
worked. I now make what I previously
could not even earn in a month in less than a week. In a sense this risk worked out for me but
when it comes to risks they don’t always work out. An example of that was me getting into the
car business. I took the risk of helping
my mentor’s body shop in a sense of providing half of the cost for the cars and
selling my car and in return for some profit and driving the vehicles we
buy. We didn’t anticipate that some cars
from the auctions had more hidden damage and as rules suggest “buy as is” we
couldn’t do anything about it. Although
it turned out to be a waste of time and leaving me without a car, I love
watching these cars come back to working and using different ones for different
activities.
For
some, taking a risk may help people achieve self-confidence and goals may be a
great choice. Like me, choosing to take a risk was a great choice. I believe
the key to success is taking a risk and going with your gut feeling. Even when
mistakes occur you must take those mistakes and learn from them. We take
challenges every day without noticing them, but you will know if you overcame
those challenges at the end of your successful day. When it comes down to it, you just have to be
proud of the decision you make and how it’s really just about overcoming your
fears. Because the truth is, every time you take a big risk in your life, no
matter how it ends up, you’re always glad you took it.
