Its one of the most common questions we receive. We are a team of researchers, writers and editors providing short, clear and concise answers to common questions. Currently, there are over 200 active contributors; you can read some of their profiles (档案) below. Catherine has been involved with wiseGEEK since the beginning of 2006. Currently, she mainly manages our writers and editors and deals with visitors about their comments and questions. What she loves most about wiseGEEK is learning more details about the things you kind of know about, and learning about things you never knew existed! Some articles she particularly enjoyed include What is a Trekkie? What is a Wormhole?She comes to wiseGEEK with a degree in political science from the University of California, Berkeley. While her time is mostly filled with working for wiseGEEK, she can also be found trying to squeeze in trips whenever she can, usually to Europe. Bronwyn began working for wiseGEEK as an editor, and though she continues to write and edit, she also puts her natural curiosity to work by thinking of new article topics. Bronwyn loves questions nearly as much as she loves answers! Bronwyn has a degree in Psychology from UC Davis, and a teaching credential(证书) from CSU Sacramento. She is a primary school teacher and artist. There are few things she loves more than her dog, Solomon, her leopard, Tiger, and good chocolate.In addition to writing the questions and editing the answers, Bronwyn has also written a few for wiseGEEK, including, What is an Owl Pellet?, and Can I Really Make Yarn Out of my Dogs Fur?Johnny is the expert behind the scenes at wiseGEEK. Like most of the wiseGEEK team, Johnny works with language; but unlike our writers and editors, Johnnys languages are PHP and SQL. He ensures that the website remains accessible and the pages load fast. Johnny has a Masters Degree in computer science; in addition to applying his skill to wiseGEEK, he also teaches programming classes at a technical school.“Programming for wiseGEEK is a challenge, but not getting distracted (分心) and educated by the content on the site, is even harder.”When Johnny is away from his computer, he likes playing the guitar; when hes even farther away, he enjoys hiking.Carolyn joined wiseGEEK as a part-time editor in April 2009, and now works full time hiring new writers, responding to questions from readers, and doing whatever else needs to be done. She comes to wiseGEEK after more than six years working as an online news producer. Although still a bit of a news junky, Carolyn really appreciates no longer being woken at 3 a.m. on Sunday morning to deal with breaking news. She has a degree in History from Oberlin College, and spent two years studying Mass Communications at the University of Texas-Austin.In her spare time, Carolyn loves to read, cook, and sew.

It means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own lifeLook 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 feelingsFor instance, you are planning a picnic with your familyYoure excitedYou have all the preparationsYouve decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your planProactive 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 situationThe opposite of being proactive is to be reactiveReactive people would say, Whats the use? We cant do anything Oh this is so upsetting
