I love learning. So in thinking about the 7 and 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learning I had a hard time coming up with my easiest and my hardest. The winner for the easiest has to be #4--my confidence in myself as a competent and effective learner. I have always loved school and it's where I've always been most comfortable--from the time I started Kindergarten to my present job as an elementary school librarian. I love all aspects of learning, even the frustration of not understanding because although it tests my patience, I like the feeling of accomplishment when I finally do understand.
To be honest my hardest learning habit is #1--to begin with the end in mind. Since graduating from the formal educational setting I have often started journeys in learning without any idea of where they might take me. No regrets, but if I had been more focused on the end I might have accomplished more (or possibly even made a little more money!)
