Thoughtfulness - my strong point admired by English writing teacher and which I tend easily to forget -

At work, I gradually have to be aware of my strong points and be able to explain them to our customers or co-workers.

I've been so accustomed to focus on my negative aspects that it's a little bit difficult to find and explain ones.

One is my thoughtfulness. When I was in university, I took a English writing class. Every week, the participants had to hand in reports, written in English. Every time I struggled to complete them, and was nervous about what response I would receive from the teacher.

When my first report was returned, I received a response, commended for my thoughtfulness and a certain standard of my writing style.

Of course, there were a lot of mistake and I got correction for them, but this experience gave me confidence to continue to write in English.

These days, I have to express my strong point in Japanese rather than English, in the middle of human relationships at work, but recalling this experience giving me another awareness of my strong point will certainly help my speeches in the near future.
