30、ll us is be brave and never give up easily.Brave is the inner resources which is necessary when we come across some difficult situations. We need it to help us to face all the problems; we need it to help us speak out our ideas loudly; we need it to help us to insist on the real thing we want to do.
31、In the modern society, there are full of chances and challenges around every corner. If we want to grasp the chances and create a career of our own, we should get rid of the personalities like timid, cowardice. Our society is just like a changeable sea, we should brave enough to adventure and seek f
32、or our own treasure.Brave has a close relationship with risk-taking. If we want to gain the character of brave, we should be ready to take risk, dare to explore the new area. If we want to be surviving in the new century and be successful, we should be adventurers in the sea of life. It is said that
33、 the best stock exchange brokers in America are people who are used to be athletes and not the graduates of finance. Because they have strong bodies that can do hard work, smart responses, confident to be successful and the most important are that they dare to make key decisions and be ready to take
34、 risk. Therefore the parents in China should give the pupil the chance to adventure.Let go of the children. Let them feel the world by themselves, explore the unknown world and gain experiences by themselves. Do not just tell them what should be done and what should be not. Do not stop them just bec
35、ause you think it is wrong or unreasonable. Give them the freedom to attempt to do new things. Taking risk means that we might come across difficulties, unknown dangerous and failures. Parents should not abuse children for they have done some seems silly explorations. If we all do things in the same
36、 way, there would be no creations. The kids are curious about the world and always have new ideas. We should encourage them to do some discovery.Risk-taking is very important in our study. We all know that we should not wait to be responded by the teachers. We should take risk to find the way to stu
37、dy that suit us best. When we meet a tough math problem and just be given the right answer, we would never know the process of the thoughts that how the problem be solved without attempting to do it by ourselves. To be a student is to take risk. Yet most education discourages people from venturing f
38、ar enough to take risks to make mistakes. One educator said that children enter school as question marks and leaves as periods. By learning to find one right answer, we may have relinquished our ability to find other answers and solutions. We should take risk to try different approaches and do thing
39、s that have no precedence in our experience. We would make mistakes, but a creative person uses theses “failures” as stepping stones.After read this novel, I think we should strongly believe that the justice will eventually conquer the evil. We always see the bad person is punished in the end. We are all kind in nature and love our lives, so we believe that justice is always along with us. Be brave, never succumb to difficulties. We can also be Jim Hawkins in our lives!
