Rather than identifying an "easiest" and "hardest" trait, I though perhaps a look inside my "toolbox" might reveal how I learn continually. Here are some items that are always in my toolbox: my kids, my husband, my dog, books, art, music, computers, libraries, the outdoors. There are other items that tend to find their way into by toolbox for a spell, and then get lost in the clutter. These might include: radio, newspapers, various people, school culture, soccer culture, politics, reigion.
It's difficult for me to keep my toolbox in order. I'm the type that uses a tool when I need it, and then puts it back in the box, but maybe not in a place where I'll be able to find it easily the next time I need it. Most of the time, I like digging through to find what I need, maybe finding a surprise along the way, for example, a friend with whom I've lost touch or a really inspiring speech or sermon. Other times I get frustrated at not being able to put my hands on what I need immediately.
I guess that's why learning is a lifelong process. I never know what I'll find when I look inside my toolbox.
