Risk or Play Safe?

 People always try to take risks, this is in our nature. Even on cartoons where things are fictional, people are still always taking risks. Like Tom and Jerry the cartoon, Jerry is always a risk taker sneaking out to fool around with Tom. Taking risks is a perfectly normal thing to do, but so is playing safe.  I have a whole jug of names on my mind right now that took risks. You may think that people don't try to take risks anymore, but I have met many people that did or is still doing it right now. The very first person that came to my mind was Mr.Bain, our computer teacher last year. He was the most inspirational and wise person I have met in my life. He quit his job in America, just to come teach. He quit a job that was steady pay, and a pretty high salary as well, just to come teach in Taiwan. I think that is a huge risk, considering the wage difference. Although I may think so, he sees this as something he loves to do and something he would rather do than making money in a cooperate business. Amelie Earheart was also a risk taker, flying across the ocean alone of the flight, that could have killed her, but she overcame the fear, and followed her dreams. In the business world, the Foxconn chairman, Terry Kuo is famous for his courageous, aggressive moves in the consumer electronics industry. He has burned off millions an millions of dollars on investing companies and developing other types of technology. Some failed, some worked brilliantly. Despite of all the failures, the success rate was much higher, therefore it was completely worth taking the risk. Some other risk takers include my dad, even myself takes risks alot. I don't think I am that much of a risk taker but at the same time I don't think I play safe as well. I am right in the middle, I do not play safe all the time, and I don't make bold moves that could corrupt my entire life. Safe players include my mom, Ms.Tsai, and a couple other people. I think my mom is a goodie two shoes because she really doesn't do anything bad, she is always following the traffic laws, she is always making sure we are eating healthy. Very responsible mom I would say. At times when I am with my friends, I am a risk taker for sure. When I am with my girlfriend or my family, I am a safe player. I am the type of person that does stupid things with friends, but I wouldn't go too far. So most of the time, I am more of a safe player rather than a risk taker.
