Week 1, Exercise 2: 7 & 1/2 Habits online tutorial

I guess the easiest habit for me is Habit 1: Begin with the end in mind. I love to plan everything out and make lists and goals so that I know where I am going. This helps when I am juggling so many things at once.

I think the hardest habit for me is Habit 3: View problems as challenges. Usually when problems arise, I view them as another stumbling block, not as a chance to learn. It is only later that I realize that I may have learned something out of the situation. If I could think about that at the time a problem arises, perhaps it will help me!

A good quote to start things off...

One of my favorite quotes, and very appropriate! :)

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

--Mark Twain
