MoreThan Just A Smile #1

“What is your best asset?”

To be asked of this question is always a struggle to me, I even feel bad for myself when people talk about these things, for it reminds me of the things I lack and it adds-up my insecurity.

Trying to figure out my best asset, really took me some time. It is quite hard specially that I’m very insecure to myself.

I always refer an asset as something that makes a person attractive, that’s why I keep on thinking that I don’t have one. I can dance, I can speak, but I am not that good at those things. I don’t even have a good complexion, a nice hair or a nice smile, but when I try to look at myself on other perspective, focusing on the things I have rather than the things I lack, I learned to appreciate myself. Then I finally found what my best asset really is.

It’s my sense of humor.

It may not seem to be obvious to my new friends, but most of my old friends and the members of my family had observed it for a long time. It is something special that is in me and what I consider as my best possession.

Since grade-school, I’ve been the clown who sets out the frown on people’s faces. I can easily make other people laugh, no matter how old or young they are, they all had fun on my jokes and the way I talk.

I didn’t really expect that that this could be my best asset. Throughout my life, I just want to make people happy in my own simple ways, and the only thing I can do to realize this is to make them laugh and smile.  

I may not have the greatest jokes ever made, but I can make plain conversations funny and lively. I can easily get along with funny stuffs and I don’t easily get offended with someone’s jokes, so anybody can get along with me and laugh all day long without worrying that I will be offended and.

It is the thing that I consider as the best of me, and recognizing it for myself, wipes out my insecurities. It makes me proud that even I lack some things physically, I can give anyone more than just a smile.
