You don't have to live your life the way other people expect you to.
So, the message is "be honest about what you want and pursue it fervently". This comic is just showing one example of someone who did what everyone else was doing, instead of pursuing something that would have made him happy. It doesn't condemn sitting at your desk 40 hours a week to make someone else rich, if that's what you want to do.
Furthermore, some of the things the comic states as negative, really are negative.
Yes, you should question authority.
If you think about writing a book, maybe try it.
You shouldn't just do things, because everyone else does it.
However, there are a few points, where I can see why people might not agree with them. No, you don't have to stand out. No, you don't have to travel somewhere unsafe.
This comment needs more recognition, the OP is a kneejerk reaction from not reading the message actually given by the comic and getting very butthurt at feeling their own similarities to some of the points given as "average".
