Thing one

Going through the 71/2 habits of a life long learner I noticed that many of those items are used during our lifetimes without really thinking about it. The first item of goals is one that I feel many people forget to do. I remember during my time in the Army, I had to have goals or I wouldn't have gotten through what I was trying to accomplish. Same thing for my education. You must have a goal in mind or you can get derailed quite easily. I would say that the hardest habit for me would be number 4. Just having confidence in myself that I can attain this goal and many others at this time of my life. It has been about 25 years since I went to college and as you get older you do lose some confidence in your ability to learn. The easiest habit probably would be number 2. Excepting responsibility for my own learning is the mainstay of my philosophy. I would never put it on someone else the reason I couldn't learn something. The question is did I try and use all forms of learning to accomplish the learning objective.
