Johnny Bunko Rises Above His Momentdumb

DEFINITION: v. To stick to your plan even though you’ve realized it’s dumb n. A stupid plan, especially if it’s a career plan suggested by parents, teachers or guidance counselors who want you to be something that you’re not.

Do you think I should stick to the plan?

Today’s definition is inspired by Johnny Bunko’s Career Lesson # 1: “There is no plan”. See: “The Adventures of Johnny Bunko” by Dan Pink. Thanks Dan! ~ James
