Thing #1 Again

Now that I have been able to access the 7 1/2 Habits site, I thought I would comment on a couple of them. I believe that I have always been a life-long learner, but I'll have to admit that I don't always view problems as challenges! They sometimes wear my resolve down. Standing back and looking at the situations later, I can always see the growth and ultimate advantage of problems, but they are certainly a way of throwing cold water on a goal.
Technology can leave a person behind in a heart beat. I'm glad to have this opportunity to broaden my experience and move with the times. Since my mother has dementia and I have watched my in laws suffer with Alzheimer's, I very much want to keep my brain as active as possible. There's also something quite exciting about realizing that you can communicate with the next generation so much better if you understand the world in which they are growing up. And since technology can create a huge time-wasting hole to fall in, I like the idea of trying to harness it for a benefit rather than a liability.
