Habits I need to work on.

While they were many HOBs' that I already use on that list, there were a few that I don't. The first one being taking responsible risks. If I don't think I can do it, I Don't. The other one I chose was remaining open to learning. This is the worst habit I have. The last one I chose was applying old knowledge to new situations. That is kond of bad too.

I need to be alot more open to taking responsible risks. It is jus that I am very afraid of failing. Running from the problem is also like failing too, beacuse I never tried in the first place. Who knows what would of happened. Maybe there would of been a good outcome from it. In the real world, people take risk everyday to go where they need to be. I need to become one of those people beacuse I am growing up, and it's happening fast.

I really need to start remaing open to continous learning too. Honestly I only think that learning should be done from 7:41am and 2:45pm on Mon through Fri. I know that sounds crazy right? I'm just so use to it, so after I get out of school in the afternoon I don't be wanting to hear about anything that has to do with school. The crazy part about everything is that I know thats not the only time people are learning. I am about to go off to college and I can't go with that attitude. Way more studying is done in college than in high school so I need to really work on that.

My last HOB that needs work is applying old knowledge to new situations. Sometimes I make things harder than they have to be. I don't think about stuff from the past because, actually I really don't know why. Reading this article made me realize that I do that half of the time. Now I can really see it. Especially when i'm in my calculus class. I took pre-calc last year, but I never think of those methods in class. I'm making the class harder than it actually is and I don't need that this year.

I am really going to start applying these habits soon, so that I can get used to them. These habits will also help me in the future. A question to myself is how if I don't use any of them though? Reading that chapter really was enlightening. It hepled me see things that I needed to work on, and things that I am good at. My only challenge is actually taking the step to get into these habits. I know that I can do it.
