Lifelong Learning (2)

Two of the seven lifelong learning habits tie for "easiest" for me:

- View Problems As Challenges
- Play

I take every opportunity I can to play, and prefer to treat problems as challenges because I really hate that feeling of being stuck. Having confidence that there's a way out of most problems is, to me, half the battle of solving the problem in the first place.
