Lifelong Learning

You are a lifelong learner, whether you know it or not. It's much more engaging to realize you are doing it as a matter of habit!

Reading is a big key here. Something library employees can relate to very much :-)

The 7 ½ Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners

1. Begin with the end in mind
2. Accept responsibility for your own learning
3. View problems as challenges
4. Have confidence in yourself as a competent effective learner
5. Create your own learning toolbox
6. Use technology to your advantage
7. Teach/mentor others- it’s the best way to learn something
7 ½. Play!

I'd say the easiest of these for me is number 4, because anyone with natural curiosity is much of the way along the path to be a competent learner.

The hardest? Perhaps teaching or mentoring others. You have to be confident in what you know. That takes a little longer!
