The Advantages of Trying New Things
Everyone likes to succeed at what he does, and it is more likely that we will succeed at things we already know how to do well. However, to limit ourselves to doing only those things which we are good at will cause us to miss many opportunities to develop other interests and skills. For this reason, I believe that it is to our advantage to try new things and take risks.
When we try something new we may fail. That is the risk that we take. But we can still learn something from our failure, even if it is only how to cope with failing. We may also succeed at a new activity and this will bring us a feeling of accomplishment and greater self-confidence. We may also discover a new interest that will bring pleasure to our lives or lead to a new line of work. Furthermore, it is not always possible to play it safe and do only those things that we know. We cannot control every situation and no doubt we will someday meet with challenges. If we already have the experience of testing ourselves in an unfamiliar situation, we will be better able to handle any situation which arises.
To sum up, trying new things and taking risks allow us to develop both our skills and our personal interests. When we take a risk we cannot know beforehand what will happen, but if we try our best we are certain to gain something positive from the experience whether we win or lose.

尝试新事物的好处
每个人都希望所做的事情可以成功,而如果我们已经知道如何才能把事情做好时就比较可能成功。 然而,限定自己只做那些我们擅长的事将会使我们错过许多发展其他兴趣和技能的机会。基于这个理由,我认为尝试新事物和冒险对我们有好处。
我们尝试新事物时可能会失败,这就是我们所要冒的风险。但是我们仍然可以从失败中学习,即使学到的只是如何面对失败。我们可能也会在新的尝试中成功,而这会带给我们成就感,并更有自信。我们也可能发现新的兴趣,为生活增添乐趣,或使自己从事新的行业。此外,一直只做我们所了解的事而不冒任何风险是不可能的。我们可能控制各种情况,而且无疑有一天我们一定要面对挑战。如果我们已经有过在不熟悉的情况下考验自己能力的经验,我们就比较能够应付所发生的任何情况。
总之,尝试新事物和冒险能让我们培养技能和个人的兴趣。当我们冒险时,我们无法预知会发生什么事,但如果我们尽力而为,不论结果是输是赢,我们必定可以从这次的经验中获得一些积极的启示。
