7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners

The easiest habit for me is accepting responsibility for my own learning. I enjoy seeking out opportunities to learn more and develop my skills.

The most difficult of the 7 1/2 habits for me, is viewing problems as challenges. I tend to move quickly through life and if a problem cannot be taken care of in a short amount of time I am ready to be done with it and move on to something else. This probably means I am lacking patience!

google exploration

I knew Google had many different components, but I had no idea about what all it can do! I’m impressed with all the library associated sites, especially Google Book Search. I will be searching that some more. Google Alerts is great, too. I have always heard of it, but have never taken the time to figure it out. I’ve used Google Maps before, but I usually use MapQuest out of habit and I will be checking out some locations using Google Earth. I did not know YouTube was a part of Google. So much to learn, I will be bookmarking the products page so I can discover more applications of Google.
