Jumping back to week 1: thing 2

Thing #2: Lifelong learning

1. Make sure you have headphones or speakers attached to your computer.
2. Open up the 7 & 1/2 Habits online tutorial and view the online tutorial. The tutorial was developed by the training specialists at the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County.
3. As you watch and listen, write down which habit among the 7 & 1/2 that is easiest for you and which is hardest. You will use your personal blog (which you will set up next) to post your thoughts about lifelong learning.


The easiest habit for me is having confidence in myself as a competent, effective learner. While I might act silly at times, I know I'm highly intelligent. A person doesn't graduate cumme laude or make it into Phi Betta Kappa by being an idiot! But I will add that I believe my confidence is in my ability to learn things .... when it comes to people I'm not always adept at reading them. I like to say I'm book smart, not necessarily people smart.

The habit I have the most difficulty with is the one where you view problems as challenges. Problems make me wish I really was a pirate and could whip out me scimitar and hack the offending obstacle to bits! Barnacles to problems! (lol)

I also have to say, I can be a bit impatient.... the tutorial was interesting, but I can read text a lot faster than the narrator could speak. I found myself scrolling through the tutorial because the narrator was reading slowly and with little inflection. I found it a bit annoying, to be dead honest.
