The you have the reactive people who focus on the Circle of Concern, the weakness of people, the problems in the environment and things they have no control over. I really like what is said in the book 'We are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of those actions'. I think it is very true no matter what or how you think. Working on yourself first instead of other conditions you can better influence the outcome.
One of the most important things you choose is what you say. Language is a good indicator of how you see yourself. Proactive people uses language such as- I can, I will, I prefer and Reactive people use words such as I can't, I have to, If only. This book I believe will help me in many different ways in not only the year to come but with being effective in my career, and also my personal life and graduate school. One of the first talks of being proactive is the very important story of Viktor Frankl. It tells us that after a series of miserable tortures in the Nazi German death camp.

According to Frankl, stimulus is everything that the environment gives the person. No matter what the
