This document summarizes key points from "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" about being proactive. It discusses that there are two types of people - proactive and reactive. Proactive people take responsibility for their lives, plan ahead, and take action rather than blaming others or waiting for things to happen. While we cannot control external events, we can control how we internally respond to what occurs. Being proactive is the most important habit and allows one to be happy and in control of their destiny rather than a passive passenger in life.
