Johnny Bunko's 6 Career Secrets

I just learned the following helpful career advises:

1. There is no plan: Don't spend too much time planning your career. It often turns out differently. Be open for challenges.
2. Think strengths not weaknesses: Focus on your strengths and improve them!
3. It is not about you: It is about making other people look good and helping out.
4. Make excellent mistakes: If you make a mistake, don't panic. Learn from it. Only strong people can handle mistakes. Other's would rather try to avoid mistakes which won't lead to innovation.
5. Persistence trumps talent: In the long run it is more important to persist at what you do. Keep on doing what you do and you will succeed.
6. Leave an imprint: Try to make a difference in your job and your life now. Be enthusiastic at what you do. This makes it easier to succeed.
