2 Opinions on 7 1/2 Habits

The easiest for me of the 7 1/2 habits to lifelong learning would be Habit 2 – Accept responsibility for your own learning. In school, I was one of those really annoying students who sat in the front row, did all the assignments a week early, and hung out with the teacher during lunch. Throughout college, I also kept a detailed organizer with every due date and made daily work schedules in order to make sure everything got done early. Yeah, I was a big hit with my fellow classmates.

The habit that is likely the hardest for me is Habit 3 – View problems as challenges. I tend to view problems as just that: problems. Not that I turn away from them, but they are what they are and renaming them just seems to be a waste of time. Problems, when they arise, need to be dealt with head on. Which is probably one of the reasons *why* I'm so uber-organized when it comes to learning - so that when problems pop up, I will have the time, energy, and resources to handle them.
