Passive Vs. Assertive

 

            In life, one is faced with many decisions.
             One can make the right choice or the wrong one.
             However, in all cases of what decision one must make, the one factor .
             that is important is how they react to the problem. Reaction is key in .
             life. When faced with a dilemma, such as an argument with a friend, one .
