Thing 1: Lifelong Learning

The  7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners was very interesting to watch. I learned that I have a some qualities of a lifelong learner, but there are areas I can improve on to become a better lifelong learner. The 7 1/2 habits include:
1. Begin with the end in mind.
2. Accept responsibility for your own learning.
3. View problems as challenges.
4. Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner.
5. Create your own learning toolbox.
6. Use technology to your advantage.
7. Teach/mentor others.
7 1/2. Play!

After viewing the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners, the habit "View problems as challenges" is the easiest for me. Instead of looking at problems as a bad thing, I try to be positive and look at problems as a challenge. This helps me get things done and be happy while doing it. The habit that I need the most work on is "Accept responsibility for your own learning." Sometimes I lack initiative to try new things, and I feel like this a big obstacle for me.

I hope to become a better lifelong learner in the future and to teach my future students to be lifelong learners as well.
