Polish your gold, don’t clean your copper *Focus on your strengths, ignore your weaknesses. *
Most of us have been taught to work on our weaknesses, and overcome them assiduously! Here is a contrarian thought. Ignore your inherent weaknesses, and spend all the time and resources in honing your inherent strengths. You will do a lot of good to you, your life, and work. Many contemporary leadership lessons speak of the need to do what you are good at. Decisively identify your strengths and do something which is pretty close to your core competence. You have a handful of a mix of shining gold coins, and some rusted old copper coins. You would do good to just ignore the rusty dusty copper coins and just put all your time and energy into how well you can exploit and make good of the gold coins on hand. Wasting your time and energy on cleaning and making the rusty copper coins is really not going to move you up in life. You would be wasting your time. And the cardinal rule in managing time is – putting time to its best use here and now. So, your time is not going to be best used by cleaning the rust and dust of the copper in you. Just do not give any importance to the copper in you (weaknesses) and hone your gold (strengths) now and always.
