Week 1, Thing 2: Pointers from lifelong learners

After watching the 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners tutorial, I think in a lot of ways that is how I naturally approach learning.

The easiest habit for me - Habit 4: Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner.
This comes from having had to learn a LOT of stuff during my 9 and a bit years at Central TAFE.
I am just old enough that computing was not something I learned at school, so I pretty much had to pick everything up on-the-job. And quickly too.

The hardest habit - Habit 3: View problems as challenges. Unfortunately I tend to view problems as annoying! It is only after I've actually solved a problem that I can feel good about it, and feel like I've learned something from it.
