Thing #1 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners

In reality I have been a lifelong learner. As a teacher and a parent, my motto to my children and my students is “Never give up the opportunity to learn something new, it may feed you tomorrow.” Some times we can’t see far enough into the future to realize what we may need at some point.

If I want to know how to do something I take a class, attend a seminar, ask a friend—I have a network of smart friends and family. We ask questions and share findings. Therefore, the easiest habit will be to continue learning.

The most challenging habits will be having the confidence to launch into the unknown world of internet. It has been a challenge for me for sometime now; and one of my goals for this class is to overcome some of those fears. When I first began to use a computer the fear of operating a simple software package was a challenge. I am quite comfortable now; and I expect to become comfortable with the internet before this class is over.

So, Fear beware, Help is on the way!
