Make things happen or let things happen? Which one best describes you?

I know there has to be a balance between the two. But there are certain personality types which are more at home with being active, and some which find themselves a little passive. Which one are you? Under what circumstances you find yourself putting matters into your hand for you to control, and under what circumstances you just let thing be?
Care to share?

when it comes to my career i am always take control of that, i really take this seriously and i believe that building your career requires hard work not lack.
i guess impression of people on me are the things i just let it happen... i don't care much what people will say to me, i won't waste my time trying to impress people around me... :-)

Well good for you bubblyapple. Well you know, we don't really have to prove to people how do we fare in living our lives. They don't need any explanation from you. It does not matter whether or not you are laid back or agressive, whether you prefer to be in control or be controlled, or take upper hand in making things happen or sit back for sometime to let things happen. It does not really matter for as long as you are happy with what you are, because you can never be successful in trying to please other people with the standards they want you to have. They are not yours for the taking.
Thanks for the response though.

I can say both! There are instances that I will just let it the way it is and most cases I work hard to make things happen! Like when I had my very stable career in my country, suddenly, I felt like I want some changes in my environment, I wanted a new challenge and etc. without thinking twice, I made it happen. I resigned from my work then applied for another and start to the very basic..In doing things, I just evaluate pros and cons a lot and of course pray a lot!
