To add to all the facts that you mentioned, its also important that we identify the opportunity as and when we get one. It could be a small thing, but small things give u a lot of confidence, enough for one to be a part of something big. Another important thing that I have learnt is that being just right is not always enough. It is very important to be "Politically" correct. Well u know what i exactly mean. I liked the point you mentioned about the rotten apples. It is impossible to not have couple of rotten apples around you. They may or may not have any talents. What matters is that you do not let the rotten apples make you like them. I think i am the last one to comment on your post.

People still don't understand the importance of n/w and giving back. It's is infact every one's duty to make people realize that. Lovd 'being on the right side of rotten apple' - true and pragmatic approach towards teamwork. I don't quite agree with 'don't expect training' - "No expectations" is always the best policy but IMHO it is a right of developer and duty of the manager to arrange for the best possible training. That's the least one can expect apart from salary :-). Good one! People still don’t understand the importance of n/w and giving back. It’s is infact every one’s duty to make people realize that.

Even if we look at it from a personal growth point of view, I as an individual must have done the most complex stuff in the world but if i cannot explain it during a PI its as good as not doing it. agreed … and yes the ability to explain stuff is really important.
