For me, the easiest of the Lifelong Learner habits is #2, Accepting Responsibility For My Own Learning. The hardest is #6, Using Technology To My Advantage.
Hey Harold, It sounds like you're doing great with flickr! For me, Habit #1, beginning with the End in mind, is one of the easiest for me because it's what I refer to when I get frustrated and it helps me stay motivated and take a different approach if I've come to a dead end. Sometimes, though, it's hard for me to have confidence in myself as a competent, effective learner (#4) because of my tendency to self-blame. I tend to make things my fault - whether it really is or not. So, when I happen upon challenges that are too difficult for me to overcome in the first few tries, I decide I can't and that it's something I'm supposed to know how to do but don't. Notice how much I embellished on what I need to work on, and not what I'm good at!
I have worked for CML since the autumn of 2000. Though I've traveled many places, I am a Reynoldsburg native and have lived in Ohio my entire life. I have been married since the summer of 2003. See also "Interests" below & the "10 Random Things" entry in my Library Stuff blog.
