The 7 1/2 Habits

Bienvenue a La Loutre Francaise, or, for mes amies americaines, Welcome to the French Otter. French, like the smoking berets of the Resistance, and otter, like the member of the weasel family with the deceptively playful nature.

Let's see now, the habit that comes easiest to me would probably be accepting responsibility for my own learning. I'm a pretty independent type, and am usually quite willing to seek out info on my own and try something out. The hardest part would probably be having confidence in myself. It's not self-doubt that gets me down so much as a crippling case of perfectionism, which makes it a challenge for me to get through the "beginner phase" of a new hobby, before I start to feel proficient.
