What new strengths do you want to develop?

I've always had a slightly low attention span. Whenever someone is saying something I have to understand I only take in as much info and revert to other thoughts. I had always been like that. That is something I would like to turn into a strength. It would make a great asset one day.

I really want to develop my talent in learning foreign language. so far I can only consider that I am already good enough in two foreign languages: English and French. I have been learning Chinese since 2008, but so far I don't show a very big progress in speaking and listening in Chinese language. It makes me feel challenged since it's usually easy for me to learn any foreign language. I will work hard on my Chinese to master it someday. other strength that I want to develop is the ability to respond a joke in appropriate manner. mostly I can identify jokes that are being told by people around me, but I find it hard to respond them in the right and humorous way. I see it's easy for my friends to respond those jokes in humorous ways that make other people laugh again. I just can stay quiet when listening to jokes. I tried several times to respond them, but then people around me saw me as if I just made a weird or not-right response, and I felt so ashamed. I also want to develop my argumentative skill when someone attacks me verbally. I think I am just unlucky to be around big family members (uncles, aunts) who like to say many things without considering the recipient's feelings. I am sure I am the victim of verbal abuse done by my own uncles and aunts and I have promised my self to not let this happen again. I have to respond their negative words quickly and rightly.
