2. Be Humble, Always
Even if you have been very successful and have done something well, it should not go to your head for you to get a big ego.
3. Listen Before Talking
You have to be able to work with all kinds of people and understand their point of view. Be a very good listener, don't just be a person who keeps talking but one listens to others.
4. Never Lose Sight of the Ultimate Goal
