Taking risks is one of the most important things to do in life. There are small risks that can be taken like, should I talk to a stranger? Or should I go to the movies by myself? In the poem “Risks” written by Janet Rand, describes certain risks that some people may be afraid of.

Life is full of risks. Some risks are bad, yet some are good. Carl Hiaasen in the book Scat wants to teach the reader that taking some risks can lead to a positive outcome. For example, Nick and Marta took a risk when they snuck into into Mrs. Starch’s house. On page 135, Carl Hiaasen in Scat wrote, “Nick wasn’t sure if sneaking into Mrs. Starch’s house was the bravest thing he’d ever done, or the dumbest. But he felt certain that the world’s meanest biology teacher wasn’t really absent from school because of a family crisis. Something else had happened, something serious..” Sneaking into the house of a feared biology teacher was definitely taking a risk. Taking that risk allowed Nick and Marta to learn that Mrs. Starch had not been inside of…
Taking risks is a necessary part of our growth as human beings. By taking risks, we do so knowing that the outcome could be good or bad. Regardless of what happens, the results give us new knowledge and perception of things. We learn from these experiences.

The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.”…

I want to take a risk now. I want to explore the unknown, the uncertain. I want to get in a fight. I want to drag race, which I know is dumb because I don’t even have a driver’s license, but I want to do it. I want to jump out of a plane with a parachute while “It’s Gonna Be a Long Night” by Ween plays. I want to take part in the world’s most dangerous sports. I want to prove I’m alive. I know I’m getting a little too excited for a quote made by a guy who’s dead now, but see it from my point of view. I’m a high school freshman, who has never taken a risk in my life. I don’t do anything risk-taking or worthwhile. I want to be the type of person you see skitching on the back of a car while on their car like Marty McFly in Back To The Future. That’s why I like this quote so much it makes me want to do something I’ve never done…

Fear exists in everyone. No one lives without fear. Being fearless is not required to be courageous, one has to overcome fears in order to possess courage. Risks are involved when overcoming fears and going against the norm. Risks come in different types, risking life, risking reputations, risking limb. The greatest risk “is not taking any risk” (Mark Zuckerberg). A person must have courage to endure each particular risk. A person who is not courageous enough to take risks will “accomplish nothing in life” (Muhammad Ali). Courage happens anytime, anywhere, and any day. Courage is experienced by all; no matter how young, old, wise, or foolish. The effect of courage may not be positive, however, the outcome is remembered. The rewards have the potential to be great, but so do the…
