Reactive
Proactive
Vs.

• Being proactive is like being water. Shake it up
  as much as you like, but it will not fizz up and
  pour out of the container.
• The exact opposite of proactive is reactive.
  Reactivity is like soda. The more you shake it
  up, it will explode sooner or later.
• Think about it. Someone pushes you in the hall
  and constantly steals your Twinkies. If you be
  reactive, you give them the exact reaction this
  person wants anger and frustration. If you be
  proactive, then you make the enemy get frustrated
  and eventually leave to bully someone else.
• Plus if you be proactive, then you have a lot
  more allies than enemies! Would that be better
  than having more enemies than friends? Of course!
