My Topic:

Risk taking is alwasys a good thing.

What I hope to learn from this source:

I want to find out what is risk taking and whether it is good or not. I hope this source can help me find out things that can support my idea

Notes:

1. Great, otherwise unforeseen opportunities often come from risk-taking.
2. Taking risks shows confidence and helps you stand out.
3. We learn from risks -- and those lessons may lead us on an important, new path.
4. Success won't fall in your lap -- you have to pursue it.
5. You don't achieve your dreams by playing it safe.
6. Embracing risk-taking helps you overcome a fear of failure.
7. Taking a risk doesn't mean doing so haphazardly (we do risk taking behaviors a lot in our daily lives).

Final Thoughts:

This source really helped me with making my argument strong. I could find out the basic but accurate reasons why risk taking is good thing and why we should follow it. Also I could know the word "risk taking" not only refers to the hazard behaviors but also our mundane acts. Next time i might need find more specific things that would strengthen my topic.
