The easiest 7 1/2 habit of life-long learners is number six. Habit number six is using technology to your advantage. I love to use technology. I use a smart phone, Ipad, and laptop periodically throughout each day. I love to learn about new technology. I have very little experience with a MAC computer. Since this semester has started, I have been working on a MAC and learning to use it effectively. I find new tricks to make my tasks easier each time I work on a MAC.
The hardest habit for me would be number four. Habit number four deals with having confidence in yourself and a competent and effective learner. I doubt myself a lot when learning. I worry that I will sound uneducated or silly when I speak or write at times. I know that I am capable of learning, but I still lack the confidence at times.
I find myself being the same way when it comes to having confidence as a competent and effective learner. I always feel like everyone else sounds so much smarter than me and sometimes I feel like it takes me so much longer to grasp certain concepts than others. However, I have learned that I'm just too hard on myself and that I am way smarter than I think I am. We are our own worst critic so the cliche says. :)
