What distinguishes us as
humans from all other
animals is our inherent
ability to examine our own
character, to decide how to
view ourselves and our
situations, and to control
our own effectiveness.
Reactive people take a passive stance --
they believe the world is happening to
them. They say things like:
"There's nothing I can do.“
"That's just the way I am."
Proactivity = To acting in advance of a
future situation, rather than just reacting.
