In the story about Sindbad, Sindbad leaves home even though he experienced fun but dangerous adventure last time. During every journey, he luckily escapes all dangers and gets wealthier than last time. He sometimes regrets he left home, but in the end, he goes for voyage every time.
However, if I were Sindbad, I would not leave my home after the first voyage. Even though I might gain more wealth, I would be afraid that I might die on the next journey. I would be content with what I have and rather stay in my home.
What would you do? Would you go for next adventure for more wealth or stay at home, happy with your current wealth?

If I was Sindbad, I think I would go for another journey like Sindbad did. Even though I know that those journeys are very dangerous and I might die if I am not careful, I would still take the risk in order to get more wealth. I think that one has to take risk in order to become richer. Also if I stay at home, I might get bored very easily.

If I was Sinbad, I wouldn't go for another adventure. I am not that adventurous as Sinbad and I get satisfied pretty easily. If I were him, I would just stay and try not to risk my life for another adventure. Also, I would be happy with my current wealth rather than go seeking for more.

I would definietely not go on to the next journey. If I had gained a lot of wealth from the first one, I would have just stopped from there. I personally am not a such adventurous person, and knowing that I might be put into a huge danger, I would definitely not risk myself. And I might also be really afraid of losing everything that I have gained so far. So I would just live my contented life.

I think that I would not. I would want to leave for sure though. But, the thought that it was luck and good fortune (and maybe a little bit of Allah's hand) that I escaped, then I would probably not go and test my luck. I would make peace with what I have at the moment and live happily

I think I would definitely go on a journey again. I don't like living a boring or safe life.. I would rather risk it and challenge myself to visit random places and try new things. Staying home and spending your money on things would become so boring that I would later get sick of my life. I don't think money would bring happiness at all. Meeting new people and seeing things that no one else has seen before would make my life so much happier!

I think I would go on the journey again. Sindbad sounds like he's addicted to taking journeys. It would be more fun to go out and have an adventure than just to stay home and live in luxury. Also, it would be cool to have all these stories to tell.

I think after i gain enough wealth to do what i want, i will stop traveling but find someone who i want to share my wealth with. I have very different perspective from Sindbad because i think if you just go for your goal for your whole life, you tend to miss small important things such as love and family. It will be very hard to stop once you get to know the thrilling feeling of success.

Well, if I were Sindbad, then I would thirst for more adventure. And I'm also the type of person who never learns their lesson and keeps pushing their luck so I think I would just end up going again. I would also expect to get richer. Sindbad seems like the kind of person who wouldn't mind dying on an adventure anyways.

If I were Sinbad, I would not go on another journey like he did. Remembering all the dangers I went through even risking my life, I would rather stay home and be happy to rest.

I would first go to several journey and as soon as I noticed that everytime when I goes to journey I get to danger, I might stop travelling. I don't want to exchange my life with money. Also there is no guarantee that I will be wealthier than before, I might get poor next time. So I might be stubborn to not travel again to islands.

People tend to push the limit after each successive encounters and I think I would have done the same thing as Sindbad did. But then I would wonder, is my luck that good? Something is definitely wrong. I would stay behind with my family right after the second journey and be appreciative of what I have.
