It was risky, but I knew I wanted to try it. No matter what I really wanted to and I actually did. But let me first tell you how I finally came to this idea. One day I was just sitting in my room and reading some interesting book as always. This book contained different stories about trips. I liked traveling a lot, but I haven’t ever been such a person who could just leave everything and just decide to travel around the world. But those stories I have read they gave me so many inspiring thoughts and the characters there were so energetic and risky that I decided to try myself. All my life I was passionate about the idea to do bungee-jumping but I was always afraid of it as well. And these two deferent feelings had a fight inside of me. And my father if I had situation like this always told me the next words: ‘Do something that in your opinion you’ll never be able to do. Don’t give up. If it needs to then try again. And in the second time you’ll do it much better. That’s how life works’. So I had just decided that I want to travel to another continent of the Earth hitchckining and do some bungee-jumping there. I was never so risky but it was worth it. So what I want to say in conclusion? Choose right words as a motivation in your life, do risky things and never look back if you have any doubt.
