The habit one says "Be Proactive" , be proactive is about taking responsibility for your life.You can't keep blaming everything on your parents or grandparents.Proactive people recognize that they are "response-able." They don't blame genetics, circumstances, conditions or conditioning of their behavior.Reactive people, on the other hand, are often affected by their physical environment.They find external sources to b lame for their behavior.If the wheather is good, they feel good.If it isn't , it affects their attitude and performance , and they blame the weather.

Presentation tips
Building confidence in Presentations
The fear of publicranks right up there with death and an IRS Audit for most of thepopulation. What I will attempt to do here is give you a few tips &techniques and a bit of support when it comes time to make apresentation. What do I define as a presentation? In the broadest sense, it’s every encounter you have with every person you ever meet. It’s when you sit squirming in an interviewer’s chair trying to be eloquent when you are asked why you left your last job. More specifically, however, I’m going to talk about the business presentation.Whenever you are asked to appear in front of one or more people for thepurpose of explaining, educating, convincing, or otherwise conveyinginformation to them, you have a presentation. Compressed to its essence, a presentation consists of three basic elements: you, your audience, your message and your tools.Inthis series, we’ll look at each one, starting off with planning foryour visuals and support materials. Later, we’ll look at presentationand speaking techniques, attitudes, travel disasters and other problemsfaced by both the professional and the occasional presenter.
