Something one of my Paramedic Instructors dropped on me during my clinical rotations: "If youre doing everything perfect, you're not learning". A great mindset changer that carried me through graduation and I still use it today.

Good info. I would like to add, be the first in the hose bed loading hose, stay out of the recliners, if you don't know how to cook but can follow directions buy a cookbook. (crews can only eat tacos and spaghetti so many times.) There are lots more things but it's a start.
