Johnny Haiku
May 13, 2008
The 6-word memoir meme has spread to Johnny Bunko, the career guide in manga form (previously). Or rather, it’s spread to the Bunko blog, via the personal blog of author Dan Pink.
It’ll soon be time for Bunko haikus (Bunkus?). Here are a couple, the first of which is merely a compression of the six Bunko lessons into 17 syllables.
Do not plan. Think strengths.
It’s not about you. Persist.
Make great mistakes. Leave mark.
Chopsticks snap at dusk
Hastening a new morning
For Johnny’s career.

Kirstin is in awe.
Nothing happens randomly.
God is all we need.

Life is what happens
While you’re making other plans
Or so says my Mom

Thanks for the haikus. Jack: your mother is John Lennon?

Gosh, and I just thought it was old Missouri wisdom.
She also said: “People are funnier than anybody”, and..
“You just can’t make up things stranger than what people really do!”
John would have agreed with her on both of these insights , I’m sure.
