I don't think the host is selfish. He looks at the
big picture 30000 miles above ground. He tries to be proactive and anticipate RISKS. That is MATURE way of dealing with decisions !
His concerns about reactions from other stakeholders (USA) ARE reasonable !
Life is a matter of RISK CONTROL since we don't know the future.
Example - The young man
did not anticipate danger, did not swing his head left and right to check for popo before he throws the "bottle" yesterday. Absolutely NO RISK control. Result is disastrous - Over 10 years, hopefully not life sentence, in jail.
Being proactive is always more effective than being reactive. People that are reactive respond to some unanticipated event
ONLY AFTER it occurs. Proactive people anticipated possible challenges before event happens.
Winner Anticipates !
Loser Reacts !
Which type of learners do you want to be ?
Proactive or Reactive ?
