It&#8217;s rather interesting to read a self-help comic book. Instead of a big genie from rubbing an oil lamp, the hot Asian girl can do just as well by the cracking noise of breaking away the bamboo chopsticks. I like the fact that I can finish the book in an hour or so and it was entertaining as Johnny kept running into difficulties at work. And the Dianna genie, kept coming out to give a lesson and have it written on the whiteboard. <\/p>\n<p>The key teachings are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>1. There is no plan. No need to plan too much ahead. It&#8217;s not flexible enough for today&#8217;s ever changing world.<br \/>\n2. Think strengths, not weaknesses. Don&#8217;t try to work on improving your weaknesses but instead work on making your strengths stronger.<br \/>\n3. It&#8217;s not about you. Try to serve others instead of serving yourselves.<br \/>\n4. Persistence trumps talent. Persistence will get you ahead more than talents can. In a way, this sort of contradicting with #1.<br \/>\n5. Make excellent mistakes: Learn from your mistakes and make the best of them.<br \/>\n6. Leave an imprint: Seek meaning for your life.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=learbyblog-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&#038;asins=1594482918\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Pink came up with this comic version of career help book.
