Thing # 1

As I reviewed 7 1/2 Habits of Effective Lifelong Learners, I kept remembering a long time ago, I had read the book 7 1/2 Habits of Effective People. I feel the two have several things in common.
The number one thing I have found is that attitude plays a large part in being successful in learning and in life. The habit that will be most challenging to me will be "viewing problems as challenges or opportunities". I get very frustrated if something does not work for me the first time. I do not like problems! The easiest habit for me will be to "accept responsibility for my own learning". I love new things! The most important habit for me will be "to create my own learning toolbox". I have so much to learn!
So--let the learning begin!

  2. I like you comments also. I have to agree I hate it when something does not work the first time, but I keep on trying. I have a lot to learn and after viewing the videos I feel like a baby taking her first steps.
