Lifelong Learning

After viewing the tutorial on the 7 1/2 characteristics of lifelong learners, I definitely felt that my forte was #2 - Accept responsibility for your own learning. I just recently graduated with my MLS which was done exclusively online. Without accepting responsibility for my learning, I wouldn't have been able to complete this mammoth task as I was accountable only to myself for the most part.

On the flip side, the characteristic I have the most difficulty with is #3 - view problems as challenges. With the stresses of being a wife, mother, and employee, it is exceptionally difficult to look at problems as learning experiences. I would prefer my life to move as smoothly as possible and the snafus kept to a minimum.
