Here are the top 10 lessons from my first quarter as an articles clerk:
Solve hardware problems before software problems
Inner change always trumps outer change
You are handicapped without a plan for the day
Don't be a trainee for too long
If at all possible, don't be green
Workplace titles are utter nonsense (they're also not)
Don't be the dude who died early
Motivation is underrated
There are things about which you think and things about which you don't
The world will shape you if you don't shape yourself

Enjoy!
