Action or Reaction

Stuff happens; we all know that.

The question is: Are you going to react to the situation or can you calmly an collectedly act with poise and well-thought-out and logical, maybe even already-thought-out plans (that's really the best way to go--act with a plan that you've already thought of and maybe pondered on before, maybe even for a long time...). That way you won't just be reacting to the situation. That doesn't mean that you have to think of every single possible situation and make a plan for what you'd do in in all the varying and different situations.

This isn't just my thought or my pondering vision of the way things would be--I've gleamed this from many different thinkers and wise men.

Act, don't react!
