Everyone at least once happened to hear the word adventurer. But not everyone understands it. What character trait is called adventurism? Adventurer - who is it? These questions are very interesting, so let's figure out what qualities such individuals possess and whether they are useful to humans.
Who are adventurers?
An adventurer is a person who is not afraid of the most daring ideas, he is an adventurer who, without any doubt, takes risks.
Adventurism is a person’s special behavior expressed in his passion for adventures, events that can cause strong emotions and an adrenaline rush.
This character trait can manifest itself in extreme hobbies, risky ventures, lawless, fraudulent actions, dangerous “exploits” that are performed by a person just for the sake of entertainment. But is an adventurer always a rogue and a scammer?
How to recognize an adventurer?
Adventurism is an individual property of a person. It may be present or absent in a particular person, which forms his tendency to adventures. If a person without any doubt goes into dangerous transactions, often argues and is not afraid to take risks, then they say that he has a “streak of adventurism”. These people are restless inventors and eternal adventurers.
An adventurer is a person who sets himself the most daring and extravagant tasks. All the actions of such people are aimed at getting closer to their goal.
Adventurers are also characterized by personality traits such as maximalism, enthusiasm and extremism. These properties do not allow to stop in front of difficulties, moving towards your dream. And the distorted sense of fear among adventurers can even push them to violate the law, if it will be necessary for the speedy achievement of their goals.
Is adventurism good or bad?
At first glance, adventurers live happily and carefreely; their life is never boring and monotonous. But there is a flip side to the coin. Risk is the main companion of the adventurer. And this is the answer to the question why the life of many adventurers ends tragically.
The desire to receive the required dose of adrenaline sometimes makes them act outside the law. Not all adventurers are necessarily scammers and crooks, but almost every criminal has a craving for adventures, which forces him to commit unlawful actions for the sake of his goal.
Some are convinced that an adventurer is a dishonorable and unprincipled person. Partly the way it is. Adventurism as a character trait is not inherent in absolutely truthful and law-abiding citizens.
A little more about adventurers
If you think about it, it is precisely the adventurous persons who most often become heroes of adventure films and books. This is all because their life is full of surprises and fascinating, but not always safe events.
Probably the most famous adventurer in Soviet cinema is Ostap Bender. Its ingenious scams suffered both individual citizens and entire groups. But at the same time, this character is optimistic, cheerful and savvy, which causes the sympathy of many filmgoers.
Speaking of movie heroes, one cannot help recalling Agent 007, a bold, courageous, courageous favorite of women. If adventurism were not inherent in the character of James Bond, he would hardly have been able to accomplish his exploits.
The personality trait we are considering is even characteristic of some cartoon characters. The cartoon adventurer is Cat Basilio. His cunning girlfriend Lisa Alice has the same qualities. In all sorts of deceitful ways, this couple tried to fetch the last money from poor Pinocchio.
As you see, adventurism is not always bad, but at the same time it is not always good. If this character trait is one of the facets of your personality, try to present and use it for the most positive purposes. If the soul asks for another adventure, remember that there is a framework of law and the boundaries of safe behavior that you must adhere to.
