I can be pretty reactive, and I've learned over time to be less reactive: to stop and think before I make decisions.

You have to think a little smarter, be proactive, not reactive.

I am reactive.

You must engage at the level of people's higher order values, and in doing so, you can engage them in a meaningful way on a large number of issues.

Rational behavior requires theory. Reactive behavior requires only reflex action.

I think so many people are reactive... they see things in a short term way they're right up against it.

I think the sensitivity that you need to create certain things sometimes would spill over into things that shouldn't have bothered me.

I always try to be reasonable and effective.

But I think that sensitivity is also a good counsellor when it comes to enforcing one's interests.

The purely agitation attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.
