Thing#1!!

      "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step", as was stated on the last slid in the 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners. This quote ties in with learning because every step a person takes in their journey though life they are always learning something. Learning is one of the most important things in life. The 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners is a very helpful tool to help people realize that they are learning everywhere, even if it is just talking to a friend. When a child is young and in school they are learning a lot, and same as when the child grows up and goes to college. When college is over and the child is grown up it is time for them to learn new things, for example at their job or how to raise a family and so many more things. A person can never stop learning it is clearly impossible.

         When I first started to read the 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners I noticed that the one that is the hardest for me would have to be the first one. I love setting up goals, but succeeding in my gaol and finishing it is a different thing. The reason for not completing these goals is because I try to start completing two many goals at once; therefor I get discouraged and give up, thinking I can not complete my goal. I try not to give up though I keep making new goals, and the less I make up at once the more I can complete.

      One of the more easy habits for me would have to be teach/mentor others. I would say this is one of the easier ones because I want to be a teacher and teachers are teaching new material to children all of the time. To succeed as a teacher one must know how to teach things clearly and love to do so. Mentoring others goes along the same lines. A mentor is someone who shows you the ropes, teaches you new things, and sometimes becomes a good role model. When someone becomes a mentor and a teacher they must watch what they say or do, because their students/ everyone else who knows them is going to most likely be looking up to them. They need to be the best they can be to succeed in being a god role model

Things to think about from thing one is not matter what someone is always learning. Learning is something that can never be taken away from someone. Learning can shape the form or a person. Some people think once they are out of school that there will not be much to learn anymore, which is not true  because a person learns new things every day.
