dictionary.It means that as a human being you take responsibility for yourown life.Look at the word responsibility:the ability to choose your response,responseability.Effective people are proactive because they take responsibility.Their behavior isa product of their own decisions,based on values,rather than being a product oftheir own conditions,based on feelings.For instance,you are planning a picnic withyour family.Youre excited.You have all the preparations.Youve decided where togo,andthenitbecomesstormy,killingyourplan.Proactivepeoplecarry_weather_within_them.They realize what their purpose really was,and theycreatively have a picnic elsewhere even if its in their own basement with some specialgames,and make the best of that situation.The opposite of being proactive is tobe reactive.Reactive people would say,“Whats the use？”“We cant do anything.”“Oh,this is so upsetting after all of our preparations and arrangements.”Theytry to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled.Being proactive is really just being true to your human nature.Your basic nature isto act,and not to be acted upon.Thats true,despite widespread theories ofdeterminism used to explain human nature.Determinism says that you dont reallychoose anything and that what you call choices are nothing more than automaticresponses to outside conditions.The language of reactive people is like:“I cant.”“Dont have time.”“I have to.”“I must.”The whole spirit of that language is the transfer of responsibility.Theythink things are determined by their environment,or by their conditions,or by theirconditioning or their genetic makeup.Psychologically,people who believe they aredetermined will produce the evidence to support the belief,and they increasinglyfeel victimized and out of control.Theyre not in charge of their life at all.On the contrary,a proactive person exercises free will and is free to choose theresponse that best applies to his values.In that way,he gains control over thecircumstances,rather than being controlled by them.1 According to the passage,a proactive personsbehavior can result from_.Athe environmentBan inner beliefCthe genetic makeupDa temporary feeling2What does“carry weather within them”in thesecond paragraph probably mean?AManage to improve the weather.BGive in to the weather passively.CStress the influence of the weather.DFind a
