Agreed with most of your post. Though I'd say a little proactive is still better than bare minimum, but I prefer to keep it private and work on that proactive 'things' at my own pace, no outside pressure.
Sometimes you want to work on something that you see it can be useful for you in the foreseeable future, voluntarily, without anyone asking(and you don't have to tell anyone) Said work occasionally benefit you, or even save your ass along the line sometimes.
but too much of it do you no good, that's for sure. And don't announce it to the world because it'll bring you all miserable things. :p
