7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners

Habit 1- GOALS
Habit 2- Accept responsibility for your own learning
Habit 3- View problems as challenges
Habit 4- Have confidence in yourself as a competent,
effective learner
Habit 5- Create your own learning toolbox
Habit 6- Use technology to your advantage
Habit 7- Teach/mentor others
Habit 71/2- Play


I would have to say that Habit 1 GOALS would be the hardest for me considering how most of the time when I set out to make a goal, I never really follow thru with it. I am the type of person who can get distracted really fast and not have a lot of patience; therefore I don’t really get to accomplish my goals. I try not set goals because I like to do things on the spare of the moment. If I set a goal then I am not going to set it so high where I feel that I am not going to be able to accomplish it.


I would have to say that Habit 7 1/2 would be one of the easiest habits PLAY. This habit can be a resourceful way to learn new things like riding a bike, or playing a counting game. I feel that this is a habit that we all go thru as children and adults; it is important for learning and brain development.
