Succeed at Work by Avoiding 10 Job Don'ts

Colleague Kevin Saghy came up with his own Letterman-like Top 10 List of advice on what not to do in order to advance your career.  Here's Kevin's list:

10. Don't try to hog credit for yourself.  Be a team player.
 9.  Don't become complacent.  Senior managers want restless young talent who will always seek ways to contribute.
 8.  Don't be a Debby Downer.  Managers notice and gravitate toward positive attitudes.
 7.  Don't lose your sense of curiosity.  Young professionals bring invaluable creative ideas to the table.
 6.  Don't let the world pass you by.  Keep up with the news, and study the outlets you pitch.  All of them.
 5.  Don't force a square peg into a round hole.  Just find a need in your organization and fill it.
 4.  Don't show a sense of entitlement--everybody must pay their dues.  Long nights.  Early mornings.  Working weekends. 
 3.  Don't throw your coworkers under the bus.  Or take credit for work you didn't complete.
 2.  Don't confuse activity with results.
 1.  Don't over think it.  Quality matters.
