There are people who assume that extreme sports are a good way of building your character.
But could such a statement be actually true?
From my point of view, I believe that, if one pursues the aim of being firmer with his mind, it is better to find another way to do it.
Firstly, it is very risky: besides the fact you can harm yourself, you can also harm your friends’ and relatives’ feelings by this.
What is more, there are plenty of people who have gained a lot without even knowing about these kinds of sport.
They read or write, teach or learn, discover and invent - they self-develop, what, to my mind, is an easier way of building character.
Nevertheless, there is a contrary opinion.
Many people say that extreme sports can simply make you more confident, determined and brave.
However, I disagree with this belief, since, indeed, in order to build character it is not necessary to run such a great risk.
Instead, you can always achieve your purpose by not being oblivious to others’ troubles: you can protect those who are weak, old and helpless.
Thus, apart from resolving your own problem, it will also be more helpful to others.
To sum up, I stress again that there is a countless number of various ways to build your character and one does not always really need to resort to such dangerous kinds of sport.
