I wrote these lines on adventure for my daughter's speech contest in the school. Somehow, I felt the lines were apt hence sharing it with a wider audience:
Life is
either a daring adventure or nothing
Hellen
Keller
The word
evokes images of doing something that thrills us. Normally, adventure involves an element of
risk that makes adrenaline rush through our system. Still, adventure is not necessarily a
physical activity like river rafting, mountaineering. In a broader term,
adventure allows us to challenge our comfort zone. People who have moved big in
their lives have always taken a path less tread. And in the words of Frost,
That has made all the difference.
Yes, the
desire for adventure allows people to do extraordinary things. The fire of
adventure motivates people to step out of their comfort zones and take risky
roads. If Gates and Jobs wouldn’t have embraced adventure, we wouldn’t have
Windows or Apple in our hands. The thirst of adventure keeps the fire to do big
things alive in our heart. It gives the spring in our steps to chase impossible
dreams and make them a reality. The live example is our prime minister.
Allow
adventure to unfurl its wings in your heart. It will make the difference
between an ordinary and extraordinary existence.
