Top Lessons Learned for Beginners

In Honor of Top Chef (I may not be as creative as TC, but he'll jump in here with his 2 cents too) and answering Q-Balls email, I wanted to put a post out there.

I'll just start a list (10 or not) of lessons learned to help the new people come up to speed.

For everyone, feel free to add to the list and I�ll put them together into one.
