After watching the video about the 7 and 1/2 habits of learning I have found that some will be harder than others for me. The first habit they mention is about keeping the end in mind. This habit is actually fairly easy for me to understand and keep in mind. Some people say that I may be over organized because of the mass amount of sticky notes and labels I own. It is just my personality. If I don't have an organized plan, I won't get the job done. The habit says we need to keep the end of whatever we are doing in mind. I do not feel like this will be a challenge for me because I already tend to keep the end goal in my head. Another habit that I think would come easy for me is habit 3. This talks about viewing problems that occur as challenges. I love being faced with challenges. Over coming challenges brings me joy and confidence that I can do anything. Because of this I think habit 3 would come naturally as well.
On the other hand, there is one habit that is not my favorite. Although I tend to have the confidence I need when I overcome a challenge, I tend to be shy and to myself as well. Habit 4 states that I should have confidence in myself as a competent, effective learner. This poses a problem for me because of my self-confidence. I do have those moments when I am down on myself and I cannot seem to get back up. This is why I feel habit 4 will be challenging for me.
The 7 and 1/2 habits present the idea of life-long learning. Life- long learning is the idea that it is never too soon nor too late for learning. Learning is a life-long process. The habits are great tools to use for a life-long learner.
I wish I was as organized as you seem to be, maybe then I would actually get things done faster!
ReplyDeleteI relate with you on habit 4 being hard; I am also very shy. We should be more self-confident in our abilities though, because we've gotten this far haven't we? :)
