“Proactive people focus their efforts in the Circle of Influence. They work on the things they can do something about. The nature of their energy is positive, enlarging and magnifying, causing their Circle of Influence to increase. Reactive people, on the other hand, focus their efforts in the Circle of Concern. They focus on the weakness of other people, the problems in the environment, and circumstances over which they have no control. Their focus results in blaming and accusing attitudes, reactive language, and increased feelings of victimization. The negative energy generated by that focus, combined with neglect in areas they could do something about, causes their Circle of Influence to shrink.”

― Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change

“积极主动的人将他们的注意力集中在影响圈上。他们会在那些他们可以改变的事情上付出努力。他们能量是积极正面的，具有放大效应，所以他们的影响圈可以不断扩大。消极被动的人，则将注意力集中在忧虑圈上。他们会关注别人的弱点、环境中存在的问题，以及他们无法掌控的局面。因此，他们常表现出怪罪指责别人的态度，会使用回应性语言，并且更容易感觉自己是受害者。这样的关注点带来的负能量，再加上他们对个人力量的忽视，会让他们的影响圈不断缩小。”
