Thing 1 and Thing 2? Dr. Seuss turns in his grave ...

I neglected to complete Thing 2 in identifying the easiest and most challenging of the 7½ habits. So here we go. The most challenging for me would be the first, "Begin with the end in mind." Maybe it's just the syntax, but personally I wish to leave "the end" open-ended, as it were. You never know what lay between the here and now and, well, what awaits us forevermore, so I'm always willing to allow for fluctuating forms of reality. If that sounds too hippie, please forgive me because it's making me nauseous as well.

The easiest I'd have to say would be to accept responsibility for your own learning. Nobody will ultimately infuse you with an intellectual curiosity that is ongoing and if you're not gonna do it for yourself then who will?

Only the Beginning

Where to start? What can possibly be said to further the content of too many bloggers with vastly too many opinions on everything under the sun? Gimme time, and I may yet come up with an entirely unoriginal litany of comments and commentary.
