Step-by-step explanation:
MONSTERS, INC.
HABIT #1: PROACTIVE
All the questions in this section refer to Habit #1 of being Proactive; so reviewwhat being Proactive means.
1. Mike is in a TV commercial; what is the expected reaction after watching thecommercial? How does Mike respond to this commercial?
Mike appears in the TV commercial only for a second and his face was coveredwith the logo of Monsters, INC. After watching the commercial Mike was thrilled onlywith the fact to have come out on television. The reaction expected could be that he
would feel somewhat dissatisfied, depressed, disappointed…
2. How does the presence of Randall change Mike and make him REACT?
Mike is a happy and positive monster but, when Randall appears he was scared,he changes his way of behaving and he turned his behavior into a bad mood. He reactsmaking fun of Randall, he spurs him
on an argument and also he get angry. That is whatmakes him reactive. His reaction should have been ignore him, not to be easily offended
and focus on things they can do something about, and don’t worry about things theycan’t as other’s behavior is.

3. What specifically does it cause him to do?
To my mind Mike feels inferior to Randall
that’s why I think he was sc
ared ofhim. In my opinion you are not scared of anybody if you do not feel inferior. I think feelinferior to somebody is a reactive attitude, everybody should try to give the best ofthemselves without comparing with others, just do the best for yourself withoutdamaging others. For me, that is a good way to get our goals in life, and you should be proud of it if you get your goals in that way.
4. Why is this type of behaviou
r “NOT WORTH IT”?
As far as I am concerned this behavior is not worth it, because
it won’
t get himanywhere. Life is as you want to see it. If you take out the positive things of every badthing that happens to you, everything will be easier and you are going to see thingsmuch more simply than if you always think that bad things only happens to you and youtry to blame others for everything that happens to you. We can see that, also in
Randall’s behaviour he was always bla
ming Fungus for whatever bad thing happened.As I said before, Mike should be worry about the thing he can do something about and
not about things he can’t.
5. Prior to beginning the work day, how does Sulley show he is beingPROACTIVE?
We can see that he was being proactive because he gets up with so much energy; he doesa lot of exercise to get in shape with the help ofMike, who motivates him. Sulley also said Mikethat he prefers to go walking to work instead ofusing
Mike’s car, because that way they save
energy. Furthermore, he was being humble whenhe talks with Tony (the fruiterer/fruit seller) because Tony said that Sulley is going to obtain the scare record and Sulley respond thathe was only trying to obtain enough scares to continue living.

6. How does Randall show example of DEFECTIVE actions of Habit #1?
We can show that Randall was being reacted because he was always blaming his partner Fungus. He thinks
that the fact that things go wrong is always other’s fault
, hewas angry all the time, he acts like an animal (when he hits Sulley) and he also knowsthat cheating is wrong but, even so he did it.
7. What causes Sulley to change from being PROACTIVE to being REACTIVE?
The main thing that happened to Sulley that made him change from being
proactive to being reactive was see Boo’s reaction after he had scared
another child in ascare simulation. Sulley re
alized that he didn’t like his job and when he was exiled
, he
took a reactive position because he didn’t care about what Mike said he left him alone in
the Himalayas despite all the things that Mike had done for him.
8. During the “kid
-
tastrophe” explain
what specific actions are displayed by Mikeand Sulley to show they are not being PROACTIVE.
To my mind, Sulley and Mike were not being proactives because they instead of facing the problemwith courage they escape without thinking that having alittle human girl in their world could be dangerous for
the rest monsters. When the “kid
-
tastrophe”
happenedthey only though for their sake and how were they goingto do it not to lose their work.
9.
At the end of the movie, what happens to show us that Mike’s
REAL attitude inlife is one of being PROACTIVE?
In my opinion, Mike’s real attitude in life is one of being proactive because he
think about the problems and he tries to solve them, that is why he apologize of what hehad done wrong (When he apologized to Sulley after having been in the Himalayas)
