Quest 1? or Rocky Start 1?

To be honest, Tech Trek 2.0 got off to a very slow and rocky start with me. I had to use my love of irony to make it through Quest 1.

In Quest 1 we have a topic presented in one way--in a tone that quite honestly tries my patience no end--about a subject (Lifelong Learning) that can be experienced and approached in many different ways!

Quest 1's negativity about past learning experiences irked me no end, as I have been around long enough to have had many positive "old school" learning experiences. Technology can be wonderful and can enhance, enrich, and aid learning experiences, but the tone of 7 and 1/2 habits online tutorial was not endearing to me.

Making lemonade of lemons, though--a seeming theme of the 7 and 1/2 habits--I envisioned my mother's impatience going through the same presentation. My irritation was nothing compared to what I imagined hers would be; I could hear her fussing up a storm. I really cherish occasions & things that make me feel my mother's presence, so I easily put my irritation behind me and enjoyed the memories, the connection and the moment.

With Quest 2, we're getting into the learn-through-play part, so all is now right with Tech Trek 2.0 and me. My plan is to continue with the trek despite the irksome start. I realize Quest 1 probably works fine with other people, but I felt I was working with a salesperson who just didn't get me. Because, after all, it is all about me.
