Simplified Meaning:
Taking initiative means you take action on your own without waiting for someone to tell you what to do. Imagine you see trash on the ground at a park. No one has asked you to pick it up, but you do it anyway because you know it's the right thing to do. This kind of behavior shows responsibility and leadership. It’s about recognizing what needs to be done and doing it, even if it's not your job. In everyday life, if you notice a co-worker struggling with a task and you step in to help without being asked, you’re showing initiative. It makes things better for everyone and shows you care about what happens around you.
