My strengths and weaknesses come to my mind every now and then. Thus I was not surprised when the twain popped up one more time a moment ago. This time around, I went for the greatest strength and weakness of mine only. Without much thought, intelligence struck me as my greatest strength by far. In this case, I have in mind a delicate blend of acumen, craftiness, astuteness, sharpness, resourcefulness, keenness, inventiveness, promptness, discernment, shrewdness, ingenuity, acuteness, perspicacity, slyness, insightfulness, judiciousness, artfulness, sensitivity, imagination, perceptiveness, cunning, farsightedness, and wisdom rather than anything that can be measured and compared across the board, such as the intelligence quotient. In short, I have a mind to be reckoned with. And what is my greatest weakness? Without much thought, intelligence struck me as my greatest weakness once again. And no kidding. The long list of tangled adjectives I associate with my intelligence is the case in point. Indeed, it is almost frightening. Would that my greatest strength was a bit more modest, as well as a bit less discernible, in which case my greatest weakness would be so much easier to grapple with. Idle aspirations, as ever.
