The Dog Ate My Homework

To complete my #3 of 23 Things Techie Stuff course, I need to discuss my easiest and most difficult of the 7 and 1/2 lifelong learning habits, and then expound on the subject. Ok...here goes...

My easiest lifelong learning habit is to view problems as challenges. Why, you ask? Because you'll get bogged down if you don't. It's much better to approach difficulties with a positive attitude and learn from the experience (so you don't repeat the same mistake again). No, I won't tell you that I'm good at this every time, but I try.

My most difficult learning habit is to teach and/or mentor others...except professionally, or when asked directly. I'm frequently told that I have a "strong personality" (which is exactly the term I used to use to describe my my tow-headed two year old), and I don't want to appear overbearing or overtly self-assured (is that a nice way to say "know-it-all"?). I'm working on this...wish me luck.
