"Assertiveness is not what you do, its what you are!"
-Shakti Gawain

Reflection

What the quote above is telling us is that, the amount of assertiveness we show, shows what kind of person we are. If you are extremely assertive with your choices and beliefs then that shows everyone that you are an extremely confident person. But if you are not assertive with your choices then that shows everyone that you are not confident. You must be assertive with the choices you make, no matter the outcome of said choices.
