7 1/2 habits

Of the 7 1/2 habits of highly successful learners, the easiest one for me to cultivate is Habit 7, which is "teach/mentor others". I enjoy helping people who are motivated to learn and find that in doing so, I learn from them at the same time. It really reinforces my own store of knowledge and as I learn more, I want to go even further.
The most difficult habit to acquire would be accepting responsibility for your own learning. Sometimes it's all I can to get through the day and learning something new seems too daunting and difficult a task. It requires that I break out of what might be a comfortable rut and stretch myself in ways I can't imagine doing.
