7 and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners

I have mixed feelings about the 7 and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners presentation. It makes some good points, but I think it makes learning seem too black and white. I am a firm believer in lifelong learning, but I believe that as long as you are living you are learning. People don't need a 12-step program to learn ... people are learning all the time! Following the steps they laid out might make you a very organized and efficient learner, but you will still be learning even if you decide not to follow them. I actually think that laying out long, complicated procedures like these for "learning" can discourage people more than they help. All in all, though, I thought it was an okay presentation.

Yeah My Really Random Work Blog is now active!

I don't know how much I'll use this (as I already have about 5 blogs currently active on Tumblr), but it's still kind of cool to have.
