What is my best asset? What is an asset, anyway?
Those are the questions that distracted everyone's life because we don't actually know what an asset means. By asking everyone around me, I got many ideas and meanings of what it is. An asset is something that you have that you can be proud of. Something that a person is attracted to you because of this. Or something that became the reason why people are still around you.
Though I already have ideas of what an asset means, I still asked them, "what is my best asset?" . Too many answers came from their mouth. Some answered my attitude; others my personality; and one said my talent in writing.
I love everyone's answer. However, there gonna be the best. I told myself, if I'll choose attitude or personality, it gonna be a very broad topic. Or if i'll choose my talent in writing; it is something that in need of improvement and practice in which I don't know if I can. So, I thought deeply. Then a realization came into my mind. I realize that many of my friends said that I have a cute smile and this is my best asset. I think they're right, my SMILE.
I count SMILE as my best asset because God had given this to me ever since I was in the womb of my mother. Because of this, I want to share to others what God had given to me.
What is a smile for you? Why do you smile?
For me, smile is the best thing that you could ever give to everyone, to your family, friends, professors or even to strangers. You don't know that because of your smile, you made everyone happy and cheered up especially those people who have problems and those who are sad. Remember that if you give smiles to others, their is no lose in your part. Instead, you gain something. Something like friendship.
It is unnatural for me to give my smiles to others before. However, when I learned that smile can give others life, I always smiled. A friend of mine told me that my smile is very innocent like a child and can cheer up others. That's why she loves me smiling.
I could still remember my newly met friends. They were always worried of me because I was new to the environment.Every time they asked me if I'm ok, I answered with a smile, "yeah, I'm ok. :)" Then, I found them relief in their side and mine too. When we had problems, I told them something with a smile, "it's gonna be ok. aja! :)" Then, they smiled back and they were cheered up. Because of the cheered spirits our sembreak was one of the best. After the sembreak, we made contacts with each other and until now, they were always by my side even they were very far away.
See how my simple smile made life cheered up?
Those are the reasons why I can say that my best asset is my smile. I love to smile because they love me smiling.
