Which do you enjoy more? Doing something you have nor tried before or doing something that you are skilled at?
This essay is an example when two of the minds (Conscious and Sub-Conscious) work together to do something new and exciting. Emotions and Risk both make the work done. People have varying habits and preferences. Some like to apply what they have learned and continue doing the same while others like to try new paths and take risks. Both kind of people have reasons for what they do. I prefer to explore and take conservative risks.
By doing what they do well, people can plan how they want to do it and for how long. This adds security to their life. They don't have to worry much about failing in whatever they do. The downside to this approcach is making life routine or boring. But that is good for people who don't like surprises. People who have a family to take care of, especially small kids, would take this approach.
On the other hand people who chose to do new things, will find a lot of surprises coming their way. They will be constantly challenged to do their best. This is good for people who like living on the edge. But this adds a lot of insecurity to their life. People who don't have lot of responsibilities and have enough resources to weather out occasional failures are most likely to try out new things.
Someone like me, who is at their early stages of life, have lot of enthusiasm and energy to pursue different things and explore new horizons. This allows them to be independent and make a mark of their own and their is potential for big rewards. Since I don't have the resources to make through really bad setbacks, I would take a conservative approach to taking risks. Before venturing into trying new things, I will assess the possible risk and make sure that is something I can afford.
At different stages of life people make different choices. While doing things they know well can bring security to peoples lives, I prefer to try out new things and take risks, because of the potential for big rewards and I like being challenged.
