Learning to learn

It's true what is said in, "7 and 1/2 lifelong learning habits." It's never too late (or too soon) to learn something. As children we learned many valuable life lessons. As we mosey on through life, our personal and collective experiences invite us to learn more and more. In fact, with each minute of life, we are learning. For example, I recently learned that the first sailing boats were built in Egypt. Amazing what the simple act of opening a Snapple bottle can teach you.

But, I digress. For this week's task we were asked to explain what our easiest and hardest learning habits would be...

Let's start with the hardest to get that out of the way. Using technology to my advantage (AKA Habit 6) is difficult for me. You just need to spend a few minutes in our office to know how much I dislike technological change (I-phone, what?!?!?!?). Either that, or ask Systems. Yes, yes. I know. Technology is great. Blah. Humbug. I'll clutch onto Pine until my last dying breath. Well... maybe. People can change, afterall. Theoretically. Plus, I think I have to work on this difficult habit in order to get credit for this post, right? Either way. Change is good. Technology? Great. Fine, at the very least. I'll work on it.

Easiest learning habit? Soooooo easy. 7 and 1/2 my dear library folk. Play, of course! I do know the value of play. Even at work, play is great (don't believe me... again... ask my co-workers). Not to toot my own horn or anything. Heck. Why not. Let's toot away. I'm a wicked multi-tasker. At least I like to think so. Plus, all work with no play makes for one dull girl (or boy... person in general). One dull environment. And, that would be, well... Blah. We can't have an excess of blah. Besides. The tutorial told us to have fun as one of our habits. We should learn from the information we are provided. I choose to learn about fun.
