Being Proactive Is More Than Taking Initiative. It Is Recognizing That We Are Responsible For Our Own Choices And Have The Freedom To Choose Based On Principles And Values Rather Than On Moods Or Condition. Proactive People Are Agents Of Change And Choose Not To Be Victims, To Be Reactive, Or To Blame Others.

If You Want The Secondary Greatness Of Recognized Talent, Focus First On Primary Greatness Of Character.

In The End, Life Teaches Us What Is Important, And That Is Family.
