Week 1, Thing 2

Lifelong learning. This is the key to personal and professional satisfaction. Of the 7 1/2 Habits, the hardest for me is the one I most enjoy doing: teaching/mentoring others. It's a time issue, partly, but also there's so much to learn/teach that it's hard to know where to start. Maybe that's really Habit 1: Begin with the end in mind. What's the goal of this learning? The easiest habit for me is Habit 2: Accept responsibility for your own learning. It's just something I do instinctively. If I'm not learning something new, I feel as if I'm just spinning my wheels doing routine stuff that's not particularly interesting. Habit 7 1/2 is the one to remember: learning should be and is fun!
