Okay, so I've tried multiple times to find out what the 7 and 1/2 habits are. The interactive video thing has frozen my computer multiple times. Up I go to use my friends computer. Wait here... Okay, found and learned the 7-1/2 things.
The final step, "Play" has got me thinking.
There are people in this program who still feel the need to be spoon fed information. These are people who have made the choice to be the gatekeepers of information in what we call the "information age." Yet some of these people seem to fear and deride the amazing tools we have available, tossing around terms like "information overload" and "Luddite." People who ask the teacher questions better asked online. Things like prices of books.
I know technology has its limitations, but I don't think they are as significant as the limitations individuals place on themselves.
I've always hated directions. I "muddle through." I play, and probe new environments to learn. I learn more with the following keystrokes than any class could ever teach me. Control-C, Control-T, Control-V. This is how I learn. Before I question those around me, I check to see what the rest of the world has to say.
I definitely have a problem with keeping the end in mind. I have trouble thinking about the "end," and even more trouble working towards it. I think I should break life goals into manageable steps, and take each step in turn, rather than getting discouraged.
