Risks make life worth living, they can cause people to make the right decision, as well as the wrong. In my opinion, risks are a part of everyday life and everyone takes them. In “A Boy and a Man,” from the book Banner in the Sky by James Ramsey, and “Risks” by Janet Rand, each passage is trying to teach the importance of taking risks. In “A Boy and a Man,” a young boy named Rudi Matt goes climbing and finds a famous mountain climber stuck in a crevasse. Rudi decides to stay and help the man get out of the crevasse. In “Risks,” is teaches the importance of taking risks and how they will help you through life. It also shows how not taking risks will make your life harder. Risks are usually taken to chose a point, to show somebody that you care or you are good enough to whatever it is you are risking. Both, passages share a common theme of risks being a part of life. …show more content…
Janet Rand, the author of “Risks,” is saying that the theme is risks are a part of life and everybody should take them once in awhile. When the author writes, “To laugh is to risk appearing the fool/ To weep is to risk being called sentimental/ To reach out to another is to risk involvement/ To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self,” she is saying that everyone takes risks throughout their whole life, even people who try to hide behind the thought of taking them. When you laugh in public, you are taking the risk of being stared at. The author is trying to say that you shouldn’t care if people stare and you should be yourself by taking risks. In lines 10-11, the author says, “But risks must be taken, because the greatest risk in life is to risk nothing/ The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing.” I feel that when the author says this, it means that if you chose to not take risks, you could end up being just another person in the
Risk for most people is an accepted part of everyday life e.g. catching a bus or walking to the shop etc... will carry some element of risk. Risk is associated with our health, safety, security, well being, employment, education, daily activities, using resources and equipment and community participation. Some adults such as those who are disabled or who are older are usually discouraged from taking risks with their budgeting, planning, employment and their daily living skills usually because people fear for their limitations or that they might hurt themselves or others. Everyone has the right to take risks and make
There are many reasons why people take risks even though it is crazy and impossible. For example, in the memoir, “The Other Side of the Sky”, it shows that Farah Ahmedi is climbing a mountain with a prosthetic leg. In the fictional story, “Rikki-tikki-tavi”, in this story the mongoose, Rikki-tikki-tavi takes the risk of going into a snake 's burrow which has a high possibility that he will be killed. In the poem, “The Song of Wandering Aengus”, Aengus goes on a crazy mission that might take his whole life to accomplish which is to find the “glimmering girl” because he is in love with that girl. Aengus wanted to find the “glimmering girl” that he in love with, while Rikki-tikki-tavi and Farah Ahmedi wanted
Risk is defined by the probability of injury, harm, loss or danger. We all take risks every day, and don’t even think about implications.
Anybody who takes a full role in society takes risks: crossing the road, using a bus, driving a car, and talking to people they do not know. Risk may be physical (injury and accident), emotional (humiliation, sense of failure), or mental (stress).
Risk taking means, something that can cause or hurt by taking risk it shows you are willing to cause or hurt yourself or others around you emotionally. In “Mother To Son” the mother shows risk in the poem to encourage her son to grow. Also,in “Bud Not,Buddy”, Bud shows risk taking in the book by pushing himself to find his father. In the novel Bud Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis and the poem
“Breaking Through Uncertainty” by Jim McCormick is about how a skydiver is plummeting to his death, and he has got to figure out how to save himself. All the while the skydiver must deal with his self-doubt. In paragraph eight, we see actually how much danger the skydiver is in “I looked up to assess my canopy and saw something I don’t often see; the horizon clearly visible ABOVE the trailing edge of my canopy.” The skydiver obviously now knows what the stakes are if he messes up, which make his self-doubt start to kick in. He starts to worry he’s not going to do it, the only thing
I always thought that in life to succeed, we have to take risks. Can we imagine, for an instant, our life without any complication through the "road"?. For most people that would be a complete dream, but we are in the real world and that wouldn't be credible. Taking risks it is an enormous part of our existence or should I say that "risks" are the most important part of our existence?. For example, even before being humans we had to take the risk and compete with 150 million of other 'little me' and arrive at our mom's through a scientific development that most of you should know and that I won't explain in here. As I was saying life, it is all about chances and sometimes we succeed or we fall, but it's all because those are the ways to complete our goals and be ourselves through our entire journey.
Anyone whose goal is something higher must expect sacrificing something bigger to achieve that goal. In life we have to take our goals and expand them and by doing so there are many sacrifices you have to do in order to obtain those goals. Sacrifices are all around us, some are bigger than others, making the goal higher and harder to get, but with a positive outlook and no fear in failing everybody can accomplish anything. When your own life is your goal than the risks are all you can take. It is important for the reader to learn that there are scarifies an individual must make to attain goals because one will become more successful in completing their goals resulting in self achievement.
My theme report looks at the issues of taking risks in order to overcome stereotypes, poor decisions from the past, and the make progress in life. I learned from the theme study that if you take risks - and if you have the right personal qualities - you can change your world personally, and influence others positively. The four films I watched for this report were Les Intouchables,Life of a King,12 years a slave and they all showed me the consequences of risk taking which were either loss or great rewards in life.some of the results of risk taking I have discovered from these movies are it can change your personality,leads to wealth and money,second chances in life and mostly you take possession of something you once lost.
When is a risk worth taking? In paragraph 1 the author writes, “It was about eleven o’clock at night, dark, and she was walking alone, when a boy ran up behind her and tried to snatch her purse.” This represents the question when is a risk worth taking because it shows the risk the boy took to take her purse. Although, this risk definitely was not worth taking, for you should never steal something just to get what you want. Langston Hughes shows us in paragraph one again how the boy’s risk
A risk always has two results, success, or experience. A risk always has two results, success, or experience.
Risk is everywhere. From driving a car to parachuting, risk is inherent in the activities
Risk is a part of every human endeavour. Everything that we decide to do has a margin of risk. No outcome is ever 100 per cent certain and, therefore, any attempt at anything has a chance of complete failure. However, while some of these risks may seem trivial, others make a significant difference in the way we live our lives. On the other hand, it can be argued that every major advance in human civilization, from the caveman’s invention of tools to modern technology nowadays, has been made possible because of the willingness to take a risk and challenge the status quo. (Aswath, 2012)
Risk is a vital necessity in which both change and innovation occur and in an everlasting developing economy businesses must change, adapt, and innovate in either or service or goods. However, like art, risk takes time and effort in calculating and producing a meaningful quantity out of in which you have to take the probability of a bad scenario occurring and also the amount of damage that it will create to the firm. However saying this risk depends a lot on the type of person you are if you are risk averse or not, people who are risk averse tend to go away from risk, however, this may cause a loss of opportunity in which the firm could have created a good profit. On the other hand if someone is too risk driven then that also could be very harmful to the business.
Every action and every behavior that we have done, whatever we will be doing, whatever action that will be seen to us is just a product of our thoughts and it will reflect on ourselves as our identity. Whatever actions we’ve done is what we think. So we should be careful of our actions and of our thoughts. This passage is also related to “actions speak louder than words,” because whatever thoughts we have or whatever we think will be reflected on our actions.
