Lifelong Learning and Learning 2.0
After viewing the lifelong learners tutorial, I learned how important it is to nurture our own learning processes.  A few interesting thoughts that came about from this video were that it's never too late or too soon to learn.  The seven and a half steps to lifelong learning are very important because they demonstrate one's own path to success.  I personally think that the point about viewing problems as challenges is the hardest for me.  We should view problems in life, not as problems themselves, but as a challenge that we can overcome.  After we deal with these experiences, we can look back on them and learn or reflect on what came about or what we could have done differently.  They are meant to be viewed as learning opportunities.  The easiest point for me would be the last and half point about playing.  We spend so much time staying focused on the big picture that we sometimes forget to relax.  Life is not about stress and it is important to play every now and then, because it's crucial for our brain's development.
