I learned a long time ago that we are always learning. We are either learning the way something is suppose to be done or we are learning the way not to do something. Either way learning is taking place. I have not always been an exceptional student until I learned that the previous statement was true. I have always been observant of the way people do things and the effect it had on others to decide whether I wanted to use that same technique or a different one.
The most challenging of the 7 1/2 habits for me would have to be #4 having confidence as a competent, effective learner. I am afraid of messing things up.
The easiest habit for me is viewing problems as a challenge. I don't believe that there are obstacles in our way but hurdles that we can all get over by trying different methods to overcome those hurdles.
The most important habit is to play. To not be afraid to mess things up because they can be corrected if you do mess them up.

You are exactly right - to succeed in this course you have to play! There are no right or wrong answers - the learning that you will do by playing around with these new tools is the important thing!
I know we've never met, but I believe you can do all of this. You're already in the class. That's a very important first step!
