Thing 2 - Lifelong learning

'Beginning with the end in mind' is the easiest learning habit for me. I just have to be sure to remain open and not get too impatient and expect fast results. It has taken years of life experience to realize that many problems or setbacks are truly growth opportunities in disguise. I may or may not seek out technology as a tool depending on what the learning challenge is. I don't like to collect 'tools' that I'll only use once or a few times and that become instant clutter ... for example, the camcorder decorating a shelf in my garage. I do, however, love any web-based tool or resource ... they're absolutely current and they don't require any storage space beyond the 1 square foot surface of my laptop.
