I am not a risk taker. I like to do just those things that I am proficient at. I have learned that it is
better to focus my attention, do one thing and do it well, and not try anything new.

be a dress designer so I studied drawing. I couldn't draw so I decided to be a veterinarian, because
I liked animals. I didn't like to see sick animals so I decided to be a historian. That suited me
perfectly since all I had to do was sit in a library and read. I learned to focus my attention on one
subject.

subject. I only read history books. I even focused my attention on Chinese history. I only read
history books on Chinese history. I do one thing and I do it well.
I don't like to try anything new. If I read things in another area, I don't do well. I don't understand
American history or English history. The names are confusing and the stories not interesting to
me. I don't want to learn about anything else. Chinese history is my subject.

When asked about the approaches to life, many people have the idea that change and new
experiences bring us a meaningful life. However, others take the view that staying the same and
not changing the usual habits is the better way of the life. In fact both approaches have its
advantages and disadvantages, which are listed as follows.

adapt to the change and new environments, we must face the difficulties and try our bests to
overcome them. This process not only builds our personality, but also gives us a varied and
meaningful life. What’s more, the change around us improves our adaptation and independence.
They have a benefit for us to compete for survival in the society. Let’s suppose we always stay
the same and do not change the environment. Then if someday we have to step into another
environment, how can we adapt to in?
On the other hand, people who hold an opposite view consider that sticking to usual habits is the
better way to life. They point out that the longer you keep the same habits, the more adaptive you
are and you may live comfortably. They firmly point out that usual changes make you acquaint
with nothing, and then it is impossible for you to have a happy life. In order to see this point
clearly, they give us g good example: If you change your environment every month, you have to
always change your habits and customs. Then how can you have a meaningful life?
As far as I am concerned, the advantages of change carry more weight than those of staying the
same because I need to improve my adaptation. Only in this way, can I survive in the society after
my graduation.
