    • A bowl of pasta

    • A cup of milk

    • A bottle of water

    • A candy bar

    Correct Answer
    A. A bottle of water
    Explanation
    People who are proactive are like a bottle of water because they are always prepared and ready to take action. Just like a bottle of water is essential for staying hydrated and being ready for any situation, proactive individuals are always prepared, take initiative, and are proactive in their approach to tasks and challenges. They are self-motivated, resourceful, and take responsibility for their actions, just like a bottle of water is always there to quench your thirst and keep you refreshed.

    Let's say you work as a cashier in the store. The customer you were trying to run the groceries for said that the ones that you ran were not his.  What do you say?

    • "I'm sorry...next time put the bar down between your order and the one behind you."

    • Just scream and blame everything on him.

    • "Stupid! You're supposed to put the bar down between orders!"

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. "I'm sorry...next time put the bar down between your order and the one behind you."
    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests taking responsibility for the mistake and offering a solution for the future. By apologizing and suggesting that the customer should put the bar down between their order and the one behind them, it shows that the cashier acknowledges their error and provides a practical suggestion to prevent similar mistakes in the future. This response demonstrates professionalism, accountability, and a willingness to improve the service provided.

    • Other people's responses

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the above refers to the fact that you cannot control your skin color, other people's actions, or other people's responses. Skin color is determined by genetics and cannot be changed. Other people's actions and responses are based on their own choices and reactions, which are beyond your control.

    Correct Answer
    A. "It's just the way I am."
    Explanation
    The phrase "It's just the way I am" suggests a passive and reactive mindset, in contrast to proactivity which involves taking initiative and being proactive in making decisions and taking actions. This response implies a lack of willingness or ability to change or take control of one's life, instead attributing one's behavior and circumstances to external factors or inherent traits.

    Proactivity is a victory in the private realm. It refers to taking initiative and being proactive in our personal lives. This victory is about being proactive in setting and achieving personal goals, managing our time effectively, and taking responsibility for our own actions and choices. It involves focusing on our own circle of influence and taking control of our lives, rather than being reactive or dependent on external factors. By achieving the private victory, we lay the foundation for success in the public realm and are better equipped to handle challenges and opportunities in our interactions with others.

By being proactive, you reduce stress and increase your sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. It also helps you to be more optimistic and have a positive mindset, which contributes to overall happiness and well-being.

    Which of these is NOT one of the things a human has to help with "just push pause" problems?

    • Conscience

    • Will-power

    • Relaxation

    • Imagination

    Correct Answer
    A. Relaxation
    Explanation
    Relaxation is not one of the things a human has to help with "just push pause" problems. The other three options - conscience, will-power, and imagination - are all factors that can contribute to solving or managing these problems. Conscience refers to a person's moral compass and sense of right and wrong, which can guide decision-making. Will-power is the ability to resist temptation or overcome obstacles. Imagination allows for creative problem-solving and thinking outside the box. However, relaxation, while beneficial for overall well-being, may not directly address or assist in solving these types of problems.
