Do you enjoy being adventurous, or do extreme feats frighten you?
Are you watching the Olympics? Does what these athletes do give you an adrenaline rush? Or does it fill you with fear?
Are you someone who enjoys being adventurous, or do extreme feats frighten you? Would you ever want to try any of these sports? Are you a risk-taker? Would you describe yourself as a risk-taker? Do extreme feats, physical or otherwise, excite you?
What is the most daring thing you have ever done? It could be a physical feat, such as an extreme sport, or it could be something else, like speaking in front of a large group, having a brave conversation or trying something new. How did it make you feel?
Ms. Gu describes several steps she takes to face her fear, including visualization and practice. What do you do to ease your worries when taking a risk?
Ms Gu writes that feelings of fear “can be instrumental to success when recognized and positively leveraged, and harbingers of injury when ignored.” Can you think of a time when fear motivated you to take a risk that led to success? What about a time when it protected you from going too far?
What do you think is the difference between being reckless and making “calculated risks,” which is what many of these athletes say they do? When you are taking a risk, how do you assess the dangers of it? How do you know when to push forward and when to pull back?
What did you learn about fear and risk-taking from Ms. Gu, or from the other athletes you read about? What lessons from them can you apply to your own life? Do you engage in risk taking activities? Not sure how many INTJ's partake in extreme sports but I ride/race motorcycles. what do you do, that is inherently risky/dangerous?
