Question
The risk of putting all my grades in a single system was the potential for that system to fail. And, yet, the reward of keeping grades and papers in a computer is that I don't have to write by hand! Doing risk analysis is fundamental to computer science, but it should be easy to do in any aspect of our lives.
We have an idea of how to describe risks, select some activity of your life that is NOT directly computer related but that can be seen to be not-entirely-safe, and share the risks, rewards, and safety protocols/practices you employ in that activity.
Explanation / Answer
The biggest risk I ever took in life was not taking any risk .
I was a pretty bright student during school days and had topped the 10 th boards in school.
Coming from a somewhat prestigious school in my city Dhanbad, I had a passion for geography and arts.
I wanted to pursue geography as a hobby and as a passion.
But my parents wanted otherwise.
They wanted me to become an engineer so I had to take up science against my wishes. I could have fought with my parents and taken up arts instead of science, but then I couldn't risk being a bad son.
The craze for IITs never did get into me.
I told my parents that am not liking science, but they said if a bright student like you says these kind of stuff then it is a shame.
And shame I didn't want to bring upon them.
Even with all the aversion to science, I topped the 12th boards. But I didn't do well in the entrances.
This time I did fight for my wishes, argued with my parents and debated with them that with my boards marks I will get into top arts colleges.
But then again I took the risk of not risking everything and following what my parents asked me to do.
They somewhat forced me into a lesser known private engineering college.
The result -
Today am in the final year of engineering. I had taken up computer science.
Today,even after three years of engineering, I know nothing about computer science. I feel I do not belong to this place. Teachers in college know that am a very bad student.
Come to my hostel room and you'll find books of various writers all of geography and along with them novels of all kinds.I am preparing for the civil services exams for I know am going to be a bad engineer. This time I did take the risk of not sitting for campus interviews. I know not what adventure lies next in life. But yes all I can say is, and what I'll say is something that has been said before, that in life we should all take the risk and listen to what the heart says. Following the heart may make us a bad son or daughter or brother or sister for maybe a few days, but in the long run, life will be easy and fulfilling if the hearts words are heeded to....
