Quest 1 - Lifetime Learning

Lifetime learning includes 7 steps. They are:
1. Make it a habit
I attempt to do this.
2. Accept responsiblity for your learning
I do, that is why I returned to college and became a Librarian in my 40s.
3. View problems as challenges
I have the most difficulty with this. I do eventually come to see them as challenges, but I need ro work on my first response!
4. Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner
I do.
5. Create your own learning toolbox
I believe this includes keeping wonder and curiosity alive in your life. Keep that mind open and don't be afraid of new ideas.
6. Use technology to your advantage
I mostly do this, but technology is not always easy to get to at work.
7. Teach / Mentor others
I use # 7 in my daily work - every time I help a patron or staff member with a problem on the computer! Also at home with my husband!
7 1/2. Play
I really like this step! It goes along with step 5. I believe we all need play of some type. My family has always had family game time and we continue to play card games and board games as adults. I believe that play can be active, such as playing softball, or passive, such as sitting and talking about Harry Potter.
