Easy-I have confidence that I am a competent and effective learner and I enjoy learning and teaching others, as well.

Difficult-I have trouble viewing problems as challenges. I will have to practice changing my viewpoint when faced with problems, viewing the problem as a learning experience.

Regarding the toolbox: I tell my students that they are on a journey. They need to put their learned skills in a suitcase so that when they arrive at their destination they will have all the skills they need for college, for work, or for life. I guess the toolkit is the same analogy.
