Week 2 Thing # 3

Thing 3-
I would love to acquire all 7 1/2 lifelong learning habits. The most difficult one for me would be the habit concerning self- confidence. I tend to second- guess myself or feel inadequate when taking on tasks that I consider out of my league. I completely agree that you have to be careful of what you think or say. So as a man thinketh he becomes.... or something like that. :) Instead of having the "I don't think I can do that " attitude, I need to say " I can do that or anything is possible"! On the flip side of the coin, I do have a natural desire to help others. It would be easy for me to teach others what I know, even if it's not much, oops there I go again (just kidding). I can remember a time when I took a college math course, it was not easy to say the least and I studied to the greatest of my ability. One of my friends and fellow student was struggling with the material so we studied together after every class. Since the class was empty, I took advantage of the chalk board and "taught" lessons from the textbook. After many meetings, I found my test scores increasing and I developed a true understanding of the concepts. I believe that teaching can increase your knowledge and enhance existing skills.
