take risks

Why would people like to take risks?

李:”Adventure” has become a new form of holiday experience today. From climbing to roller coaster, why would people like to take these risks?

毛: People like to take risks because they would like to relief themselves. Taking risks is regarded as a mean of making themselves conspicuous and presenting their personality. Nowadays, young people would like to take more risks than any other people, such as bungee jumping. Maybe rock climbing and sky surfing. They think those can help them because a courageous guy or a strong person.

周: Yeah. People think taking risks can enrich their lives. Life is pale when it’s in a kind of regularity. People who don’t like to take risks may never discover the real beauty of the world we live in. What’s more, people gain much delight from adventures. Around the world, there are so many people like extreme sports such as climbing/surfing, and so on. In this kind of sports, people must pay all their attention to what they do now, or they will lose their life. And in this moment, they forget all the problems which bother them in the daily life. They are just themselves.

李: That’s what I want to express. And usually people are more likely to be addicted to taking risks. Our body produces a chemical while we are doing extreme things. And it’s not easy to quit. I suppose the biggest reason is they are curious about the world. They want to take things to the edge and get their adrenaline up high for the thrill. What’s your opinion, 姜?

姜: Nowadays, it is plain that an increasing number of people are absorbed in taking risks. They regard risks as a part of life, enjoying the fun. As often as not, exploiting their holidays or idle time to adventure is not surprising for them. To put it bluntly, they are accustomed to taking risks and always full of enthusiasm.

陈: When they do that, I suppose they don’t think twice about the danger, maybe they are just

exciting. What’s more, taking risks somewhat likes a kind of drug, the more you take it, the more you want it.

熊: That’s the point. To some degree, people who would like to take risks want to try something new and enjoy it. In their heart, for the sake of discovering fancy things, they usually hold a kind of intense exploring spirit. In this respect, taking risks gradually becomes a kind of need for them. Spontaneously, adventure plays a dramatically important role in their life.

李: Everyone likes leading a comfortable life. But you can gain much more profit if you’d like to take risks. That’s why so many people like gambling and buying lottery. You can be rich overnight rather than work hard day by day.
