For those of you who didn't want to read this comment about a shortcut because it was longer then the original post, (the tongue-in-cheek part was the title!

1. Ego isn't good
2. Do stuff open-source
3. Don't worry about the money
4. Discuss
5. Be creative
6. Invent something to demonstrate your theory
7. Meditating isn't the same thing as meditation.

You can use this to study for the exam.
