The "Teddy Bear" Effect #1

"This is weird"


The sentence that instantly popped inside my head. It's weird because, I really don't have any idea on what's going to be my best asset. Thinking that my friends would know what my asset is, I asked them one by one on what my asset is.


Some said that my best asset would be my eyes, because they give a "sense of calmness", they say. Others say that my attitude would be my best asset, because I can adopt to any environment with different kinds of people from different walks of life.


Alas! a memory popped out my head from when I still was a high school student, when I helped someone by just listening at it and not giving any comments about it, somewhat a job of a fluffy teddy bear lying in a bed, waiting for its owner to be hugged, thrown, played with, and listens to what its owner says, but it wont give back a reply, it just stays lifeless, all it needs to do is to listen. And that's the time that I came up with my best asset, "to listen to people's feelings".


Why this? because its really fun to listen to the feelings of others, not in the sense that you can use what they say for blackmailing them, but by listening to them, you'll realize how diverse and different a human being is, and you can also understand this person who shared something with you. Your work is like a psychiatrist, listening to its patients is its job, but of course, I don't give prescriptions to my so called "patients".


To me, listening to others is meaningful, because it means that those people who shares things to me means that they trust me. Sharing something is hard, but if you share things to people you trust, then it would turn out fine.


Listening without answering is my job.

To who would I listen to next?
