There are billions people in this world and they are all different. The outside differences are traits, personalities, and behaviors which reflect the inside differences. Being said, our behaviors originate from thoughts and decisions. Being proactive could be optimistic, open-minded, and self-aware. Proactive people know themselves and others.

Instead, they realize that how they encounter with such thing is in their control, so they manage to response each situation based on a consequence. On the other hand, Reactive people do not concern about circumstance and result. They have their goal. They aim and shoot and if they missed, they will blame their bow, arrow, wind, or even sunlight. Meanwhile, Proactive people will know that a little wind blow might bend their arrow path; they count their circumstance and make a decision. This people will never regret or blame on what they did but always come with solution. They choose how to live and learn that everything is relatively connected and related. Thomas A.

    The Grand Mosque of Córdoba remains to this day, one of the finest mosques, of that which once was part of the west of the Islamic Umayyad Caliphate. Córdoba was once the capital and seat of the Umayyad Caliph in Spain; then known as Al-Andalus. As such, this city was graced in the days of Islamic Rule by the building of a mosque; a most fundamental part of any Islamic city. If one were to think of Spain now, Islam is of course not the first thought that would usually come to mind. Spain is, after all, a Christian land with a deep Roman Catholic history, and the location of many Christian Pilgrimage destinations. Thus, one would be forgiven for thinking that the Islamic Empires had probably never even reached as far as West Europe. The Grand Mosque of Córdoba tells a different story.

  • The Dynamic Character Of Phillip And Timothy In The Cay

This quote shows that rather than just hoping for the best, Phillip makes preparations for possible future situations like the Germans invading Curacao. To me, proactiveness is a good trait in the sense that you can be prepared for situations that others might not even think about. However, with this preparation comes anxiety and nervousness when thinking about outcomes of the scenarios you hypothetically put yourself in, which also makes proactiveness a bad

As assumptions number four of the skills and tools model of communication states that communication skills are trainable like motor skills, assertiveness skills such as passiveness, aggressiveness, and assertiveness are presented in a way that may be taught to use in appropriate situations to depict your feelings and your wishes.
