Always Read the First Chapter of the Manual
from Begin Self-Publishing Podcast · host Tim Lewis
In my first full-time job I worked for a small financial software company and had to learn this odd computer programming language that only they used. As a new employee I was given the manual but most people just expected me to do what they did and just pick things up as I went along. But for whatever reason I read the manual. What surprised me was that I learnt an awful lot of things that many of the "old hands" didn't know by just reading Chapter 1 of the manual.
