This is vital to the success of the team.

Work hard, always look forward to your next goal or achievement and enjoy what you do. There are so many great mentors in this industry that are willing to share their knowledge. If you are lucky enough to have one, my advice is to listen and take all the information in, so you continue to improve your own knowledge. The day you stop learning is the day you need to change industries.
