But Sophia knew just how important Make A Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends. We were interested in finding out more, so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.Sophia told us that Make A Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980. “Its a charity(慈善机构)that helps children who have got very serious illnesses. Make A Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick, by making their wishes and dreams come true,” Sophia explained.We asked Sophia how Make A Wish had first started. She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris, who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman. Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chriss dream come true -so, with everybodys help, Chris, only seven years old at the time, had been a “policeman” for a day. “when people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to try and help other sick children too, and that was the beginning of Make A Wish,” explained Sophia.Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time. A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world. Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true. They do this either by providing things that are necessary, or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.21.

BThe word proactivity is fairly common in management literature, but you wont find it in the dictionary. It means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own life.Look at the word responsibility: ability to choose your response, response-ability. Effective people are proactive because they take responsibility. Their behavior is a product of their own decisions, based on values, rather than being a product of their own conditions, based on feelings. For instance, you are planning a picnic with your family. Youre excited. You have all the preparationsYouve decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your plan. Proactive people carry weather within them. They realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if its in their own basement with some special games, and make the best of that situation. The opposite of being proactive is to be reactive. Reactive people would say, “Whats the use?“ “We cant do anything.“ “Oh, this is so upsetting after all of our preparations and arrangements.“ They try to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled.Being proactive is really just being true to your human nature. Your basic nature is to act, and not to be acted upon. Thats true, despite widely accepted theories of determinism used to explain human nature. Determinism says that you dont really choose anything and that what you call choices are nothing more than automatic responses to outside conditions.The language of reactive people is like: “ I cant.“ “ Dont have time.“ “ I have to.“ “ I must.“ The whole spirit of that language is the transfer of responsibility. They think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or their genetic makeup. Psychologically, people who believe they are determined will produce the evidence to support the belief, and
