The 7 1/2 habits of highly effective me

Lifelong learning says that it's never too soon nor too late for learning. We are all lifelong learners because we learn different things all throughout our lives.

The hardest habit for me is Habit 4 - Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner.
Sometimes I get overwhelmed by big challenges and second guess myself in what I can do. However, I have learned to just take things one step at a time and I realize that I am just as capable as anyone else.

The easiest habit for me is Habit 7 1/2 - Play!
I get so busy sometimes that I like to take a break and have fun! Even when I am just enjoying myself, I am still learning without being aware of it.

The Web way to learn

The one thing that stands out about what I have seen and heard about Web 2.0 is that it is about linking people. Through the Web we are able to communicate with anyone, anywhere, anytime. There is so much stuff out here that I don't even know about.

I think that Web 2.0 is a good tool to get introduced to some of the different types of web resources. Yes, some of these things appear to be really technical and intimidating, but it's really not as hard as you think.
