Play!
My children are great at this; my husband is great at this. I am not so great at it. Hand me the new camcorder and I'm dismayed by all the buttons. I have to ask my husband to post our digital photos on-line, download music, burn videos from our camcorder. I am too perfectionistic, too afraid to break it or alter it irrevocably and negatively.
So of the 7 1/2 habits of life long learners, I am weakest in the 1/2.
Ironically, I am confident of myself as a competent, effective learner--give me the manual, show me how in a class. But heavens alive! Don't make me play around to figure it out!
