Thing 1: Lifelong Learning

It's easy to get caught in that trap of thinking that it's too soon or too late or that there is just no time...
As I was watching the 7 1/2 habits of highly successful learners, I was reminded of the fact that we, as teachers (promoters of lifelong learning), should engage in lifelong learning more often than the Average Joe. And we, perhaps, should be the ones who are best at saying there are no excuses.

So... the hardest and easiest habits for me:
Hardest: View problems as challenges... I can easily live with and work through problems without getting too upset... but to have that optimism of viewing them as challenges from the beginning is something I don't do automatically.
Easiest: Play!
