Following directives To be an active participant — f irst of all — means that you should voluntarily follow the organizer’s directives.
For example, when the meeting leader asks you to have a good discussion, what you should do is to follow his instruction and do it in an earnest way. Sometimes you may have your own ideas. And if it is possible, you may make some suggestions to the leader. However, before your suggestion is accepted and recognized, you should do as you have been asked to. It would be unwise and inappropriate to show your unpleasant feeling simply because your suggestion is not accepted for various reasons.
