1. A good team is everything.
2. Talk about the business.
3. Test before you invest.
4. Compliances aren't a joke.

Also instead to blaming the TEAM... Blame yourself. By saying such words you already have developed hard feeling for them to carry throughout your life. Start taking blame on own. You people don't have that comradeship, that bonding that bonhomie....n now you crib on Tedx forum.
