The 71/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners

The Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County (PLCMC) as part of their web technology 2.0 training came up with a list of the "71/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners" they created a PowerPoint and listed these habits:
Habit #1- Set Goal
Habit #2- Accept Responsibility for your own Learning
Habit #3- View Problems as Challenges
Habit #4- Have Confidence
Habit #5- Create a Learning Toolbox
Habit #6- Use Technology
Habit #7- Teach and Mentor Others
Habit #71/2- Play
For me Habit #2, #3, #4 and #71/2 are all about attitude. Have a positive attitude and believe in yourself-- TADA! Look! You're halfway there. The other stuff helps you figure out where there is exactly, and the route you’re going to take.
I am a person who strongly believes in having fun where ever I am. Why not have fun?
You're going to be here doing what you have to do day to day regardless, you might as well have fun doing it. You make your own fun. It is a choice.
I also have every confidence that whatever happens, it will eventually be okay. I'll figure it out, or ask someone to help me figure it out. I work in a library... people here are all about helping people find the answers to questions they weren't sure how to ask. It's what we do. Got a question? Ask a librarian.
The only thing on the list that I would say is difficult is to use technology. Not because I am not a technology user, I like my gadgets as much as the next girl, but because technology is always changing. Not just changing, but changing in expensive and time consuming ways. Technology has become one bouncing, shifting, growing, mountain of a ball to stay on top of. I can’t spend all my time in the digital world, I like reality—I’ve worked hard to make reality pretty nice. I would rather actually play at the park with my son than look for an app for that.
