One of the things I can hardly stand is when people do nothing and just sit, waiting for things to happen to them.
So when I start doing that myself, you know something is very, very wrong.
And this doesn’t show itself everywhere. Sometimes I am working hard at one thing while something else appears to just be sitting.
But when the response is literally just hold on, rather than proactively do something, then I really begin to chafe.
Don’t just stand there. Don’t just sit there. Act. Don’t be acted upon.
Move proactively. Don’t react to stimuli.
