Thing Four

Done and done. Are all the Things going to be this easy?

Thing Three

Done. Voilà!

Handy link I used to get the accent over the "a" above: Keyboard Help: International Accent Marks and Diacriticals.

Thing Two

7 1/2 habits of lifelong learners....why the 1/2? Just to be cute?

The easiest of these habits for me is having confidence in myself as a competent learner. Learning has always been easy for me, and I know it, so #4 is already true for me.

The hardest one is going to be #3, viewing problems as challenges. It frustrates me to have a problem I'm not sure I can solve. I'm okay with the kinds of problems that I know have a solution that's within my reach -- an algebra problem, say, or an upset library customer -- but with more mechanical things, I'm not sure I have the capability to figure it out. Hey, I guess this is related to my easy habit.

Thing One

I bet I'm not the only one to be thinking, "Thing One and Thing Two? Are we trapped in The Cat in the Hat?"

Lovely podcast. I was trying to figure out whose voice that was, and I never thought of it being Mary.
