Thanks everyone for the replies. Michaelpinto - you raise some very interesting points.
This really hit me when reading it:
c. Don't be afraid of making a mistake!
For some reason, and I'm sure some people here are the same, I'm petrified that I will make a huge mistake.
Beside that, I have one other fear - I'm not good enough.
Since I've never worked in a company, I've never had the opportunity to compare my methods with other members of a team.
I know I'm not the fastest developer out there, but am I the slowest? I don't know!
I suppose I could look at this from the employers point of view too - nothing is final. If I'M the mistake, they can always let me go.
Thanks again everyone. I appreciate your input.
