Stephen Covey wrote "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", a great personal development book. However, his message would have been even stronger if he had stopped after the first habit. The first habit is "Be proactive".

"Proactive people can carry their own weather with them. Whether it rains or shines makes no difference to them. (...) The difference between people who exercise initiative and those who don't is literally the difference between night and day. (...) I'm talking about a 5,000-plus percent difference, particularly if they are smart, aware, and sensitive to others." - Stephen Covey
