Easiest vs. Hardest
I think the hardest of the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners is Habit 3 - View Problems as Challenges. Personally, I think this is the hardest for me because I tend to view problems as just that - a problem. Something I don't want to deal with, a mess, just one more thing to screw up my day. I swear, I'm not a pessimist. :) The easiest of the habits would probably have to be Habit 1 - Begin with the End in Mind. I say this only because generally the only way I can get through the habit that is hardest for me (View Problems as Challenges) is by imaging how much better/easier/more rewarding it's going to be down the road when the problem is no longer a problem. I have a fear of learning new things, I always think I'm not going to get it or it's going to take me so much longer than normal to pick it up....or just that I'll never understand, but I'm going into this not only with the end result in mind, but also viewing this as the newest challenge in my rapidly evolving life. Bring on the challenge.
