Exercise #5


The Library is Not For Books

I found this picture on Flickr searching for the tags "library" and "books". The sign is extra funny because it looks like it could've actually come from our library - the color and font of the sign, and also the sliding doors in the background, look an awful lot like King...

Exercise #2

I thought that the 7 1/2 Habits Online Tutorial was useful because it spelled out in specific terms how to be a lifelong learner, enforcing the more vague ideas I had in my own head about learning. There were several tips in particular that I found useful:
  • Begin with a goal in mind
  • View problems as challenges
  • Create your own learning toolbox
  • Use technology to your advantage
The easiest habit for me would be the use of technology for my advantage, because I already like playing with new, fun electronics and web applications. The hardest would be to begin with a goal in mind, because I generally go into projects not knowing exactly where it'll lead (it's a bad habit of mine).
