I enjoyed the presentation on the 7 1/2 habits of lifelong learners and thought, "I would like to learn how to do this!", as I was watching. With that thought in mind, I found it easy to identify which of the habits is easiest and hardest for me.
Easiest is easy for me to identify. Play! I like to work with others and enjoy the dynamics of team work. I also have an offbeat sense of humor and find that laughing at mistakes eases tension and energizes people to move forward to accomplishment.
The hardest habit is a bit more of a challenge. I guess I would have to say, "Begin with the end in mind." I have so many ideas! Howevcr, it's easier for me to visualize roadblocks and challenges of a project than its actual fruition. I see the end as being worthwhile but often what the end result will be is kind of hazy for me.

i think you're right about injecting humor into the job to ease tension. we need more of that.
as for your challenge of tending to focus on roadblocks, i think it is important when building a team to have someone pragmatic like that--a realist.
they provide a nice balance to the idealists who often have wonderful ideas but are blind to the nuts and bolts of getting projects off the ground.
