It is often said that doing things that people already know to do well is the best and fastest way to success because there is less chance to fail it. However I believe that trying new things is more beneficial in a long term for the following two reasons: people learn how to overcome difficulties and they are motivated by the failures.
To begin with, although it is an undeniable fact that trying new things brings about lots of failures, it will come in handy in a long run. To be specific, as people face lots of difficulties, they learn how to deal with them and overcome the situations. Thus, they are more likely to success at the end. For example, my uncle was a kind of person who wants to try new things, so he tried all kinds business in the past 5 years. However, despite his effort, the businesses were disrupted everytime he established. It was very hard for him in the beginning, but as time goes by, he learned what is the main problem of the disruption and figures out solution to overcome the problem. At the end, he was able to establish the business that fulfills the problem that he had faced.
In addition, people are motivated by trying new things. This is because they can have a great sense of achievement when they accomplish new things ,which they put all their effort. Also it is common that people want to look further after they accomplish a goal, which they longed for a long time. As I mentioned before, after my uncle finally succeed in his business, he was very happy about his achievement, but it was not the end. He wanted to expand his business internationally because he was encouraged by his result. If he did things that he already know to do well, he must not have had this kind of motivation and encouragement.
All in all, people tend to be afraid of trying new things, however it will play a significant role in their lives in a long term as they learn how to overcome the failures and motivated by them. Thus, I am convinced that people should put more effort to try things that are new. |
