Lesson 2, Inspiration

7 Habits of Highly Successful People by Stephen Covey was a great review of habits I try to possess. I have always tried to be a proactive person, hopefully focusing on things that I can influence or change and accept things I can not change and deal with them with a positive attitude. I try to be the kind of person that knows there is always more than one perspective and that people's life experience influences who they are and that they know I respect their opinions and ideas. All actions have consequences, try to choose ones that will have positive outcomes.
Viewing problems as challenges and keeping in mind that "you can always learn" and creating your own tool box were the most relevant suggestions from the 7 1/2 Habits presentation for me. I think it is important to have a good attitude, know it is never too late, and adopt I will..I can...I do...., stay abreast of new emerging technology and never be afraid to ask questions. Probably the only think I do not like about new technology is the ability to interact with a live person and be able to ask questions spontaneously without composing a type written and question and waiting for the response.
