The Adventures of Johnny Bunko

The key to success is to steer through weaknesses and focus on your strengths. Instead of trying hard to improve what you're bad at, capitalize on what you're good at. This creates more instances of flow state in the work you're doing.

Additional lesson - In a big company, nothing is private. Leverage it to create more chances, suiting your strengths. This would gain you more visibility.

It's not about you, but your clients. Use your strengths to improve others' lives. You're in your role to serve, not self actualize. This mindframe solves the clients' problems and adds value to their process or output. The most valuable people in a team, bring out the best in others. They aid in their teammates success and make their boss look good.

Always remember : Think outward, not inward.

One among the most powerful force in the universe is compound interest.

Though talent is important, the world is littered with talented people who didn't persist and thought they could ride on talent alone, whereas people with comparatively less talent pass them by.

You get intrinsic motivation, just for the fun of doing a task. The more intrinsic motivation you have, the more you persist. The more you persist, the more likely you are to succeed.

Instead of focusing to avoid failures, a crummy way to achieve spectacular success is to make huge & honking mistakes, that puts you a little closer to excellence & makes you little better, probabilistically.

Think about your purpose, to recognise that your life isn't infinite. You should use your limited time here to do something that matters. To potentially do a service of something larger than yourself. To leave anything a little better than before. This isn't just a career advice.

This summary is a small imprint that I leave, embedding a few crisp lessons in you, through the medium of this digital dust.
