Always be proactive
There’s a natural tendency in us to be reactive. It can help us preserve our energy by not dealing with unimportant matters, or it may give us better results when we are dealing with something about which we’re completely incompetent. Those situations are different from our projects, and here we can get better results by being proactive.
Risk management is a simple example of being proactive.
