7.5 Habits of Lifelong Learning

EASIEST :

HABIT 2 - Accept responsibility for your own learning.

I am always wanting to know things - particularly historical facts, so I am constantly combing through library catalogues looking for history books to read and searching the web for more information.  I usually seek out some project that interests me.  Now I've hit on the old family history (hasn't everyone) I'll be happily employed for evermore.

HARDEST :

HABIT 6 - Use technology to your advantage.

I find it hard to keep abreast of new technology as it's not natural to me.  I haven't grown up with all these new fangled things!  We didn't even get TV until I was 11.  I like it (a lot) but find it hard to be adept.
