7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners

The 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Learners can be summed up in one word: attitude!

Habit 2 (Accept responsibility for your own learning.) is definitely the easiest for me. I am self-motivated and always ready to learn something new, whether it be technology-related or digging up a triceratop. I love to read and research so that I have the background information necessary and can make connections.

Habit 3 (View problems as challenges.) can be a difficult task for me at times. I like to think of the old "the glass is half-full and not half-empty" image when frustration sets in. I am good at seeing "the big picture" and like to hurry up on the steps in between. (Sherlock would not approve of this method.) I eventually get around to viewing things as "good problems" and use the challenge to find choices and solutions.
