Look at the word responsibility— “response-ability”— the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling.
英文的『Responsibility、責任』這個字, 可以拆解為『Response-Ability』、 也就是『回應的能力』。 具有高度主動性的人,深知這項能力的重要, 他們不會把自己的行為歸咎於環境、處境、 或成長背景的影響; 他們的行為乃是出於自己價值觀、有意識的選擇, 而不是因著環境或情緒所產生的反應。
— by Stephen R. Covey from his book 『The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People』
