This chapter was about taking risks. We tend to avoid risks, and many people wouldn't want to risk anything usually. But in this chapter, it mentioned to take risk.
Through Mr. Kitashiro's speech, he also said that he also took the risk, and he thought it was necessary. I wonder if people can risk something if they had no other choice. I think that life is filled with many kind of risks, small and big risks, important or insignificant risks, and other kinds as well. The TED talk I found in the internet given by a Yale university student was very interesting. The way she thinks, and the examples she gave through her speech.

I think that showing your some kind of "weak side" will make people closer. If you try to hide the weakness, or the risk you are making, it just makes you make a wall between others. I think that taking risks is not only about the negative image, but the process is also important. The people around you will notice what you do and get a stronger bond, or the process and the outcome might become something positive. According to this video, the risk taking will connect to your own confidence. Confidence will be another character it is important for leadership, or being positive. After all, I feel people who tend to be like this are more effective as a leader.
Hi Maya,
返信削除Thanks for these final two posts, and I did watch the video clip and I know exactly what she means about not wanting to take risks for the very same reasons she cites.
Thanks too for all your posting and the other work you did this term. I wish you the very best with all your future endeavors and the realization of your dreams.
Take care and have a great break.
Ken
