The Acrophobiac

"What do you think is your best asset?"

All this time, I've been thinking about it. What is my best asset?

But first off, what is an asset? I didn't really understand what it really means, so I asked some people about it. I searched for it in the internet, but, all I acquired were from the business means, not exactly what I wanted. At the end of the day, someone explained it for me.

"An asset, for people, is something or anything that other people see in you that is acceptable to them, either a physical feature or a special characteristic. When most of the people see that asset in you in the same, but positive way, then it's your best asset."

After that explanation, which was from that person's point of view, I finally understood what an asset means. Next problem. What is my best asset? Well, I'm kind of confused what to write and everything. And I really don't know what my best asset is. So, I asked again this question to the same people.

Some would say that my best asset is my eyes. Others would think, it would be my personality. And others think, my generosity. (Oh, really?) I'm still not convinced about their suggestions and explanations. But then again, I've been thinking, my best asset is the thing that I really want to expose to the public, and the thing that people would conceive as something that I should be proud of. And that would be...

My voice.

If I didn't have my voice, I can't make a sound. I can't talk and express what I feel. And most of all, I can't sing and expose my so-called "talent" in singing. I've been singing ever since I was 2. I've been an hyper-active kid during my early years in this world. And I've been loved by my relatives because of that little talent of mine. Then, I stopped exposing it until I was 7, when I came to realize, I can sing. I did it in front of my classmates in during my 2nd grade. Singing has been one of my hobbies since the I discovered it myself. But still, it isn't that exposed because I know, I'm not that really good at singing. Until now, I still don't have that much of a good voice, but I'm still proud of it. I thank God for giving me this "little talent" of mine and for this voice.

Most of the people around me, tell me that having this kind of voice is my best asset. And I think it fits. So, the next time someone asks me what my best asset is, I can be able to answer them directly...

Or maybe, just sing for them.
