Some people love taking risks because it feels exciting and rewarding. Like when you jump off a slide at the park, you don’t know what will happen next, but that’s part of the fun! In their brains, taking a risk gives them something called dopamine, which is like a happy chemical that makes them feel good. So they keep doing it because they want to feel that happiness again.
Examples
- A child loves climbing the highest tree in the park because they don’t know what will happen if they fall, but that’s part of the fun!
- A student takes a chance on applying for their dream school, even though it might be harder to get into.
- A person tries a new and spicy food at a restaurant just because they want to feel something exciting.
