Thing 2: 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners

Easiest Piece of Advice to Follow
Play! I do like to try and experiment to see what’s out there and what others are doing. I also like to think about ways new things can be incorporated into our learning environment.

Hardest Piece of Advice to Follow
Regarding the Habits of Life-long learners, I think the hardest one for me to incorporate is to view problems as challenges. Mostly I tend to view problems as well, problems, which I understand is not the most effective way to overcome them. This outlook leads one to focus on the negative and will not necessarily lead to constructive & productive work. The funny thing about hearing this advice is that I have heard myself give this same advice to my children as I enthusiastically try to get them to move on and put their latest setback behind them. So maybe as a result of this assignment I’ll also try to pay more attention to what the experts ( & even myself) are saying and put those words into practice.
