While sitting down to listen to the presentation on "7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners" I started to think, "This is ridiculous! Isn't everyone a lifelong learner? Seriously, we learn something new (regardless if we want to or not) everyday!" But I quailed my pessimistic side and try to remain open and decide which on these “habits" were the easiest and the hardest.
EASIEST!
Well the easiest habit was the first one, "Begin with the end in mind". For me that is automatic. If I decide to take a course first thing that jumps to mind is, "How is that going to help me? And will I need this information?"
HARDEST!
"Creating your own learning toolbox" was my hardest habit. Some how I see my end goal and see that I need to be ready mentally but actually getting all the stuff together for that learning experience I seem to falter. I sometimes do not anticipate the need for certain items used in learning environment.
In short, being a lifelong learner happens regardless if you want to or not. But being a successful lifelong learner is so much more fun.
