7 1/2 Habits of Highly Effective Lifelong Learners Video

This video gave me good information on habits of effective learners. I liked that the beginning of the video stated the definition of a lifelong learner and talked in-depth of the good habits this type of learner possesses.

The easiest habit for me (and probably most) is 7 1/2. Who doesn't enjoy playing and being curious? Applying this already established habit to effective learning should be a cinch.

The fourth habit mentioned will probably be the most challenging out of the 7 1/2 for me to obtain. I have the tools and ability to be an effective learner, but I do not always have the confidence in myself. Having low to medium confidence has always been a characteristic of mine. It is rare for me to feel completely confident about myself and my abilities all the time. I make many mistakes, and only recently have I started to view them as learning opportunities. Hopefully I can make a habit of having confidence in myself as an effective learner as I grow and learn in life.
