Risk

Why do you think some people are drawn to risk and adventure? What is the attraction to danger? Do you like to take chances? Why or why not? Describe a risk or adventure you have had or would like to have—perhaps due to something you have seen someone else do.

• Some people are drawn to risk and adventure because they enjoy the feeling of being nervous and the the feeling of being tense. It gives you a satisfied feeling. Also, when you face the risk or adventure, and when you benefit from the risk (or win from the risk) or when you complete the adventure, you will have a feeling of being extremely satisfied. This satisfaction makes you addicted to wanting to win. This is the same reason as why people are attracted to danger, because you feel the satisfaction, and if you face and danger and you "survive" or "win", then you might become famous, you feel yet another wave of satisfaction. I like to take chances, yes, but only when the possibility of benefiting is higher than the possibility of losing. For example, if there is a 60 percent chance of winning, or higher, then I would take the chance. Don't think that I am being a coward, because you still have to consider the fact that you have a 40 percent chance of losing. So, when you take chances, never underestimate the risk or feel too confident. A risk that I took before involves a dare - I had to make a prank call. It was quite fun, because you had to find ways to make the person answering the call feel awkward, and you also have to "disguise yourself", for example, making your voice sound different.
