LAUGH - Tell a joke. Laugh heartily at others' jokes instead of smirking drily while continuing to stare at your computer screen. 

WONDER -- Think about what's next with a genuinely curious mind. Ask questions to learn rather than to critique. 

EXPRESS YOUR NEEDS - No, I'm not going to recommend screaming when you don't get what you want. But do remember that your coworkers and colleagues are not mind-readers. Act accordingly. 

TAKE RISKS - Go out on a limb, even if only a little. When we get too self-protective, we stop learning. We become like those people everybody hates to work with: "We've always done it this way." "That will never work."
