Do you want to be an active person or a passive person. For this discussion, we can adopt following meanings: Active Person: Believes that heshe is the dealer. If results are unfavourable, heshe takes responsibility for hisher failures. Does not blame environment, God or Society. Risks of being an Active Person: Frequent depressions. Need for greater self-confidence, self-reliance. Must have greater self-discipline and restraint. Passive Person: Willing to take whatever comes to hisher stride. A sort of fatalism or determinism. Heshe believes that everything is pre-fixed by the Supreme Lord. In hisher view, we are like pre-programmed computers. After completing the present procedure, life will go to the next procedure. Even if heshe has to face questions like Y/N, heshe will select only Y treating it as what is given by God.
