Of the 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learning, it was easy to pinpoint my strongest and weakest areas.
Coming from a goal-oriented family has vastly prepared me to begin all challenges with an end in sight, a particular goal that I hope to achieve. Do I wish to speak French fluently or simply be able to navigate the streets of Paris? Outlining what needs to be done, what my ultimate goal is, and what I need to do to get there is my strongest point of the 7 1/2 habits.
On the contrary, I've had some difficulties viewing obstacles and problems as challenges. I have a tendency to dwell a bit, to allow myself to become overwhelmed before tackling a problem. It is my personal goal to overcome this and use those bumps in the road to to better my conquests as I improve my lifelong learning techniques.
Aside, I'm quite excited about setting up and further customizing my blog. I'd love to gain a further understanding of adding gadgets and decorating my blog as an internet representation of myself. I was a tad bit overwhelmed when I first started, but I'm feeling much more comfortable with the blog now. As I prepare to work on the other tasks (things), I am excited.
