Lifelong learning - 7 1/2 habits

I think lifelong learning is an enjoyful thing to do in my life. I couldn't stop learning unless I am dying. I think everything I've learned is so benefit my life. For example, I am learning second language. I found it is so boring from A to Z, from vowel to consonant at first, then words began making a little sense to me, now I have ability to read lots books. The new language becomes one of my new "skills" to start new life adventure, isn't it fun?
The 7 1/2 habits is easy to say, but hard to obey sometimes. To make new rules become part of life habits would take time and patience, even sacrifice "old habits" to achieve the goal. One of challenges of lifelong learning to me is how to keep the studing time regularlly and balance the conflict between study and play time. You know, sometimes hanging out with family members or friends is more attractive. However, I console myself that every "sacrifice" would win its rewards, and it is true.
