Blog

Who would have thought that I would someday be paid to blog? Though I guess that's not what I'm being paid for - it's the training. Being paid to be a lifelong learner sure is fabulous as well, though.
I watched a lovely video presentation about the 7 1/2 habits of highly successful lifelong learners and am supposed to determine which of habit is hardest for me, and which is easiest. This is quite the self-reflective little task. I have decided that habit 1: begin with the end in mind is probably the most difficult, or the least natural for me. Generally I don't begin with the end in mind, I just start out and see how far I go. Later I might end up kicking myself for not going farther, say when I tried a semester of French, so setting out with certain goals is something that will make me a better learner. Habit 2: Accept responsibility for your own learning is probably my strongest learning habit, and this is probably why I have been so successful in school throughout my life. It may also be why I am already familiar with blogger and, though I have not done it for a year and a half, have three years of blogging experience under my belt. And now I'm getting paid to do it better. Fantastic!
