『范文』
Magazines and newspapers never tire of telling stories about people who have come to success quickly by
taking risks. However, the problem with taking chances is that, while one can win a fortune, one can also lose
everything. Careful planning helps reduce that possibility, and it is a basic skill that all established business people
have. Therefore, I believe that continued success in life will be the result of careful planning as well as taking
risks.
Careful planning is a requisite part of life, especially when one's decisions can impact one's own life and
the lives of others in a significant way. For example, the CEO of a company must weigh all of his options
cautiously. After all, his decisions will impact not only his life and that of his family but also the lives of his
workers and families. Due to a miscalculation on his part the company could incur significant losses. These
losses might be so substantial that the company will be forced to cut jobs in order to save money or save the
company itself. Therefore, the CEO's carelessness could cost him his job or, even worse, could cost the jobs of
other workers in the company who might be less well-off than him.
At the same time, taking chances is necessary on the way to success. People who get too caught-up in
careful planning often find themselves unable to make decisions. They are looking for more and more
information in order to make a well informed assessment, but they are taking too long. For example, the same
CEO who plans the moves of his company carefully so as to minimize the possibility of failure faces tough
competition in the business world. In order to stay ahead of his rivals he will have to make decisions on the fly to
beat out competing companies who are trying to buy the same materials or sell similar products. Thus, depending
on the situation, taking a risk could be necessary to save a company or to ensure its prosperity well into the future.
