You know the funny thing... I think I have answered this question before... and certainly in plenty of detail.
But the more I think back... I think I would now change my answer to "

The reason being is that the rookie year is so much fun, its crazy, its hectic, its full of twists, turns and suprises... but honestly its the struggles and the triumphs of that year, of learning it all on our own, that made it so sweet. I wouldn't change or trade any of my three rookie years (3 different teams) or the knowledge we didnt have, for the world. Successful or not, they were by far the most fun and perhaps even the sweetest years of the teams I have been on.
And I think Steve Jobs nailed exactly why in a
speech he made when talking about being fired from Apple and starting all over again:

The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
