Help with Career ... from a comic book --- OK, *manga*, fanboy!

I guess I'm a lazy reader, but it took a comic book to make me read some career advice.

The Adventures of Johnny Bunko turned out to be worth the $6 and I'll probably give it to one of my laid-off colleagues after I read it one more time. It's really aimed at Gen Yers and a little light, but gets to the point.

Which is:

1. There is no plan.
2. Think strengths, not weaknesses.
3. It’s not about you.
4. Persistence trumps talent.
5. Make excellent mistakes.
6. Leave an imprint.
