7 1/2 Learning Habits

The saying goes that learning is an ongoing process … learning never stops. Everyday is a learning experience for mankind if you open your mind enough to absorb. I do not know if I will be able to go through this learning 2.0 but I am determined to give it a try and try I will.

Having gone through the 7 habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners, I would say the easiest habit for me, apart from the playing part, will be Habit #7. I find it very natural to teach and mentor others once I have knowledge about something. I also enjoy sharing acquired knowledge and giving back to my community/society. Throughout my life I realized that the more I share knowledge or teach someone the more I retain the knowledge.

The difficult Habit will be #3. I tend to shy away from problems. I hardly see them as challenges; I see them as crisis that has to be dealt with. If I could think of them as challenges then it will be easy to see the learning experience that comes out of problems.
