- Begin with the end in mind
- Accept responsibility for your own learning
- View problems as challenges
- Have confidence in self as competent, effective learner
- Create your own learning toolbox
- Use technology to your advantage
- Teach/mentor others
- Play
If these are the seven and one-half steps to being a lifelong learner, then I would have to say that having confidence in myself as a competent learner is the tenet that is easiest for me because I think I'm good at all the steps! Therefore, the hardest thing for me is to find one of the tenets that I think is the hardest for me--that's logical, isn't it? Now I know this declaration doesn't sound too modest, and I'm not really trying to toot my horn, but I do like to learn and hey! I have tons of experience at it--lots of times I get the chance to learn the same things over and over again!

Hi Flutie Mim,
I like your colors. It's near midnight and they just brought me back to life. I feel jipped in that the pre-selected colors on my blog are better that what I would have used. I deleated my changes. So, I also get plenty of practice learning and relearning. Visit if you get a chance at http://myblogdlh.blogspot.com
Hi, Chris--I agree that you are a great example of a lifelong learner. I certainly appreciate your enthusiasm for all things new and your willingness to keep trying new things. My hardest one of these 7 and 1/2 steps is the starting with the end in mind--or at kleast continuing to keep the end in sight as I progress with things. Sometimes I get bogged down in the details!
Flutie Mim,
I find that you are the ultimate lifelong learner with your commitment to having a positive attitude as you learn, work and interact with all people. You are a pleasure to work with. Sara H
