The Ramblings of an Arrogant Paranoid Internet Agoraphobic

This first post is suposed to be about the seven and a "half" habits outlined in the life long learning tutorial: creating goals, accepting responsibility for your learning, seeing problems as challenges, having self confidence in your abilities, creating a learning toolbox, using technology to your advantage, teaching and mentoring others and "playing". I find that it is easy to set goals, have responsibility in achieving them, teach others what you know, see challenges as opportunities, and maintain a playful attitude. The easiest one of all is having self confidence... I have been working on attaining some humility for most of my adult life. Self confidence isn't an issue for me, arrogance is. The one that will be difficult for me is using technology to my advantage because technology is scary. Did I say scary? I meant terrifying, and completely indecipherable like a dead language. The paranoid part of me doesn't like the fact that when I do things online I am accessible to everyone else online. I won't bank online or fill out anything with my personal information. Everyone assures me that is is safe now and I realize I sound like one of those people with the homemade aluminium foil helmets that is afraid aliens are reading their thoughts but I can't help it. I would like to point out at this juncture that I am not deluded (even in my arrogance:P), just paranoid and really the problem is more of an Internet agoraphobia than anything else. After all I am taking this trainning right?
