Thing 5, Week 3 (Actually done on Week 3)

This is a photo of a village from Sao Jorge, Acores - the Portuguese island my family is from originally. My family isn't from this specific town but I went to it when I was about 10 years old. It's a very out-of-the-way town, you have to take this narrow road through the mountains to get there, it's so narrow that 2 cars can hardly fit on it side by side. When you get to the village it has a church and some houses but hardly anyone lives there any longer. But each year they have a big festival there and people from all over the island go to it - at least they used to when I was a kid, it's been over 10 years but I'm pretty sure they still continue having the festival each year. I really liked visiting that town when I was a kid and I hope to do it again some day. So here is a picture of it for all to enjoy!

Thing 2, Week 1 (Done in Week 3)

Well, I believe this is the posting in which I'm supposed to say what I thought was the easiest and hardest things of the 7 1/2 Habits.

For me the easiest would be Play!, of course, but somehow I think that would be the same for everybody so I'm gonna choose something else. Thinking about it a bit further I think #1 Begin with the end in mind - is the easiest for me. Simply because many times I know where I want to go - but then I need to google or yahoo maps (both literally and non-literally) the way to get there.

The most difficult is probably #3 Viewing problems as challenges. I am able to do this but it's still annoying putting up with problems. Oh well, we're human and problems are just a part of life. Nothing I or anyone else can do about it.

I enjoyed the 7 1/2 Habits podcast, it was informative and kept my attention while I listened.

Thing 3, Week 2 (Done in Week 3)

Well, here I begin the trek, voyage, walk, run, trip, or whatever you want to call this Learning 2.0. I hope it will be both entertaining and informative. Here goes nothing...or everything.
