#2 Pointers from lifelong learners:

I reviewed the 7 1/2 things for lifelong learning. They are as follows:

1. Goal setting


2. Accept responsibility


3. View problems as a challenge


4. Have confidence


5. Creat own learning toolbox


6. Use technology to my advantage


7. Teach/mentor others

And most importantly:

1/2 PLAY

As I was reading the seven and a half things, it occured to me, that many of these things I learned, while I was a Mary Kay Consultant in the early 80's.

1. Goal setting; set a goal, make a plan, work your plan. Continue to re-evaluate long term, short term goals & objectives.
2. Accept responsibility for one's own successes.
3. Don't view challenges and questions as problems. View them as opportunities to learn, re-examine, reorganinze, and re-evaluate.
4. Fake it till you make it : confidence
5. Use tools available: best you can afford
6. Use technology
7. Teaching and mentoring helps to solidify what has been learned.
