Risk taking

For half of my life i have been someone who always play safe.
I have always been against the idea of riding a motorbike since the accident rate is pretty high, however i have decided to go for my motorbike license, probably because of my friends influences.

So i have always tried to keep this a secret until yesterday, my brothers saw my training record booklet for class 2B on my desk. I did not expect them to look through my stuff, but my brother did just that, and he told my eldest brother.He came to me with sarcastic remark about how i always said that motorbike is bad and how i don't need my own vehicle.
But if there is one thing i've learned over the years of socializing, people do change no matter how hard you try to keep them the same as the one you knew at first.

Later that night, my mum came to me and asked about my saving. I told her that i will get pretty depleted of cash, she go on and ask why and what i spend it on. I just kept saying that it's something she won't like , she kept guessing things like guitar,game and other random stuffs.
Finally she said motorbike?
I always tries my best not to lie to anyone, so i admitted it.
The truth is i can't keep this as a secret for too long if my mum and i will be staying under one roof.
She remained calm and told me that it is not safe to drive bike and things like that, the things that i already know.
So i went on and told her that if all your life you have to play safe, what will you achieve at the end of the day?
You won't be able to experience, some of the worlds best activities just because you think that it's unsafe.
Well, just hope that she will understand better and have a peace of mind.
I do understand that it's inevitable for a parent to think that way, if one day my child wants to take up motorbike, i will also be very worried.
Well but i should not let the past restrain the future.
I shouldn't let those people whom i know had accident while driving bike, stop what my child wants to do, we only have one life , we got to live it our way, because everybody only have one life, don't let anybody stop you.
