Life is a series of choice. We used to choose something, we are choosing something now, we will choose something in the future. We must choose something and that's what life is. We are in the middle of the continuance of the choice. Are you just going to choose whatever you want? Even doesn't matter? No of course not. Everyone wants to live their own happy lives even that choice can involve certain risk. We usually regard those who jump into risk and do what others might not try as risk taker thinking there is a big wall between those people and normal us. However, we are also a big risk taker. If you are doing something, you are a risk taker. If you are doing nothing, then, you are even more a risk taker. Every human being is a risk taker.

Typically when people are asked about the most important traits entrepreneur is needed, they say, it is definitely risk taking behavior. Entrepreneur is a person who is attempting new things even the thing involves some kind of danger. And it is commonly recognized that there are huge differences between the entrepreneur and normal people like us. However,

there are two facts we, the normal people, are missing. The first thing is we confine the word "risk taking" to the person like entrepreneur not regarding the mundane faculties and the other risks we, the normal people, are taking. For example, there were two man. One said, "You're an entrepreneur. You are out there trying things. Either you will succeed, or you will fail. That makes you a risk taker". But the other man replyed, "No but you are much big risk taker. You work for someone else. If your boss or somebody else makes a mistake, the whole company could go down, which might have nothing to do with you. Your fate may be in someone else's hands. That's pretty risky". Who do you think is more riskier? Both of them. They both are risk taker. Also, becuase we are always in the middle of choice and option, we are the so-called risk taker too. The other is we all have risk taking behaviors. Actually we must have risk taking behaviors. The study got through an experiment and found out that when we get rewarded for a risk taking behavior, endorphin which is a kind of hormone rsecretes in our brain so that we are more obsessed to repeat such actions. Also the genetic makeup works in this place that it is likely that the son of the risk taker take another risk. And the mind offers an equally compelling reason why people do risk things.

In these days, the idea that every human has risk taking traits are getting stronger. There are many studies that found variation of risk taker personality. Scientists could be one great example. Sociobiologist E. O. Wilson has commented, "Scientists spend their productive lives struggling to reach the edge of knowledge in order to make discoveries." Just as the mountaineer risks death or injury to reach the summit of a difficult climb, these scientists risk ridicule and failure to discover answers.

If what i've insisted so far is true, then, human will evolve remarkably to the given and changing environmemt. We will eventually adapt to it. However if people ignore the argument and keep looking at those risk taker as a strange or surprising aboriginal thing, then, even though we have much more space to evolve and make a wonderful history, we will remain still leaving our wonderful characteristic unnecessary thing.

Endorphin gives us a strong reason why risk taking could have become a widespread human characteristic. Endorphin is what the brain releases in response to imminent physical danger. One neurobiologist, Candace Pert, discovered that endorphins enable us to balance the rush of adrenaline that flows into our bloodstreams during dangerous moments with cool, calm thinking and an ability to give undivided attention to crucial matters despite the surrounding chaos. Also Pert believes that greater sensitivity to endorphins gave certain early humans a survival advantage, and this made sure the succedding of the genes to the other generation.

Early human risk takers were probably more likely to wander off established trails, possibly finding a new source of water or game. Such individuals might also have risked being seen as different in order to invent a new kind of weapon or animal trap, or to try eating a new plant or other potential food item. These acts would have triggered a pleasurable excitement in the risk taker, but might also have profoundly benefited his or her group.

Because of the ancestor's genes have succeeded to our generation, in this modern life, we are taking a lot of risks that are adapted to our situation and also the desire for such action still runs strong in our genetic makeup. Also the convincing reason of the continuation of the genetic characteristics is that the positive reinforcement is given to risk taker. This trait is strengthened by the societies

There are many who still believes risk taking is unique trait only a minority of people share. However, as the evidence tells us, risk taking trait is not what out generation has made or created but it is succeeded to our society without discontinuance. We are mentally and psychologically born as a risk taker by our ancestors and perhaps we are physically made to take risk. Every human is a risk taker.

 

Still there are many who think the oppostite of me and I partly believe the same way with them. Those people suggest many powerful reasons. They say taking risk is rather a way to lose chance, defining a risk taking acts as participating in a war with nothing worn, not properly equppied. However, they are missing a big thing. Don't you think waiting for complete ready could be rather another chance of risk taking. As I have mentioned before, our life is in the middle of the choice, if we chose something to happen, we should have responsibility for that choice and have to choose another thing. Don't you think staying still is nothing but just agreeing to take a another risk. Then another people can still insist that only the minority has the risk taking behaviors. I can say the same thing i have said. They are only confining risk taker to the extreme things but we do take risks in our mundane faculties without conscious.

When living our lives, sometimes, we may be shy to take a risk or mabye the eyes of the other people would look you as a strange person so that you can't take a further step to advance that involves risk taking. However, don't forget to know that every people do risk taking behaviors and that it is totally common thing. Maybe there might be no other common thing than this in the world. Even those who looks you the strange way take risks unconsciously. We are now in the middle of risk taking. And It is not you can or you have the right to take risks. You are born to be risk takers because every little thing contains risks. Think about it. If there were no risk taking behaviors how could we be born in this world , what if our mom and dad did not determine to marry which is part of taking risk. We are now making our own world because of the trait that every human being shares, risk taking.
