　　Trying New Things… Risk and Reward
When we try new things, there is always the risk that we will not be happy with our choice, we might try a food we have never tried before and end up disliking it. It could be too sour or too salty. It could be too spicy¹. We might try a new sport like sonowboarding and end up falling down a lot. We might try a new style of music and get a headache. We might check out a different kind of art and be totally different language and end up embarrassing ourselves. Who wants that? Sounds risky² to me.
But if we take the risk, we might try a new food and end up loving it. It could be sweet or have a great flavor. It could be an experience that makes our taste buds feel like they are in heaven. We might try a new sport and fall down but we get back up and eventually experience exhilaration, even for a minute. We might see why people love that sport so much. We might try a new kind of music and regret that we didn’t discover it sooner. We might see a new kind of art and be amazed. We might try to write or speak a different language, and we might be a little embarrassed as first; but we don’t let it bother us too much because we know that the only way to improve is to make mistakes and keep on practicing.
I say: Try a new food. Try a new activity. Try to listen to some new music. Walk into a gallery, just on a whim³, and look around. Try writing and speaking that other language more. Try making some new friends. There are some risks involved, but I know there are rewards too.
