Habits of a Lifelong Learner

I just finished watching the tutorial about successful lifelong learners. The easiest habit for me is to accept responsibility for my own learning. I have always enjoyed school. I thrive on deadlines and grades (I know it's weird). When I realized I wanted to become a librarian, it was a fairly smooth process to study for the GRE, apply to graduate school, and then write the papers and complete the projects to earn a degree. The hardest habit for me is to see problems as challenges. I am quick to go into crisis and resolution mode, instead of allowing a problem to run its course and recognizing it as a valuable learning opportunity. The reference desk immediately comes to mind. When I am asked a question and have no idea where to start, I inwardly panic. Instead, I should view the question as a chance to grow and explore. In the end, I will have learned about a new topic and new resources to be used in the future.
