One of the most important thing I've ever learnt from books is probably the "1st Habit" from the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Richards Covey.
Be Proactive - Which basically means taking initiative in life by realizing that your decisions (and how they align with life's principles) are the primary determining factor for effectiveness in your life. And one should take responsibility for your choices and the subsequent consequences that follow.
If you ever look around, alot more people are reactive instead of being proactive. Being reactive is letting emotions control you out of rashness and not being level headed, while being proactive is actively stop yourself from being rash and keep your mind in check before making a decision to react or embrace things as it is and deal with it in a more effective manner. That's probably why Rachel and I never quarreled because we never want to react over things and deal a killing blow to our friendship.
