My selections were habit easiest #7 1/2 Play. I love to play and that is how I actually learned most of my computer knowledge.

My hardest habit is #6 Using technology to my advantage. I learn but seems like it is after the fact instead of in the now.

I have a bit of reserve hesitation, don't really know why I just do.

Here is a list of all the habits.

Signs of a Stroke

I think this is useful information

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR.
Read and Learn!Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE.

T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) ( i.e. It is sunny out today)

R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 999/911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.. New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your TongueNOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue..If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke.
