What's the most useful career advice anyone ever gave you? Here's my best shot at dispensing words of wisdom that I wish someone had told me when I entered the workforce but I didn't know until later. Feel free to add some to the comments. I'm sure me and my imaginary boo, Ryan Gosling, are missing something.

The House on Mango Street is all about voice. It’s about being heard. It’s about inventing new languages when the old ones don’t work. In the author's words, it's about “the ugliest subjects I could find. The most unpoetic.”

In real life, The House on Mango Street may not have been much to look at, but its story won the American Book Award and has become a required reading classic.
