 * //Bunko Questions//

1. This is the first American business book in manga. Does the medium detract from the message or enhance it? Why?

2. Lesson One says, “There is no plan.” Are there times, though, when planning is actually wise?

3. A key to Lesson One is the difference between making decisions for instrumental reasons or for fundamental reasons. Discuss a time when you chose one type of reason over another -- and explain how it worked out.

4. Lesson Two says to “Think strengths, not weakness.” How do you figure out what your strengths are? How do you find a way to build your work around these strengths.

5. Lesson Three, “It’s not about you,” seems sensible. But is it possible to follow this lesson too far?

6. Yes, persistence trumps talent, as Lesson Four says. But when does persistence become delusion? Or annoyance?

7. Diana tells Johnny that musicians and athletes embody Lesson Four because they “show up.” Is “showing up” enough? Are there other endeavors the reflect this lesson better?

8. How do you tell the difference between an excellent mistake and stupid mistake -- not in retrospect, but before you act? What’s an excellent mistake that you’ve made?

9. Most people make decisions and take action in the context of an organization. Do any organizations really permit -- let alone encourage -- their employees to make excellent mistakes?

10. What imprint do you hope to leave with your work?

11. Which lesson in the book made the most sense to you? The least?

12. What's going to happen to Johnny -- and Diana, Carlos, Yuko, and Dave -- next?
