Thing 1,2,3,4

#1 is really a non-step as far as I can tell.

"Lifelong learning" seems to be an exercise in common sense to me. If there's no end in mind, you will meander and become bored. Then you drop it because it's become pointless. Accept responsibility because otherwise you won't do anything. Problems as challenges means you won't give up at the first sign of trouble. Confidence echoes #3. A learning toolbox echoes #3 again. Use technology is an echo of #5. And teaching others is the best way to solidify the information in your own mind. Play just means do it. So really you have what, 5 steps. And really, if any of them are a newsflash to you, you should probably stop sniffing glue.

Step 3 is easy and a good step, but probably should have been step 1.

Step 4 is good. But the mistake that was made was in assuming people would be able to use the access database correctly. There's a whole field in software development that addresses this problem. It's referred to as "usability." What's really needed is a front end application probably written in visual basic to let people enter things into the database. But that would be too easy.
