A reluctant job eventually helped me grow

I'm going to tell the story that reluctant jobs could grow you if you do your best, which I have experienced so far.

Last year, I was assigned to one job which I thought is reluctant for me at that time because I thought it just seemed to be hard and not to be what I wanted to do. Another colleague was also asked prior to me, but he denied it, so I was not able to deny it because there is no one but me to be able to that job. This job was technical customer interface to one customer in English. My job was to discuss what the customer wanted, what could be possible and what schedule could be satisfied based on the customer's requirements with the customer by tell conference. First a few months, it was very painful mentally while realizing that what I was doing was very important for our company. However, I did my best to do this in order for both success because my policy is to do any job without cutting corners. Every day, I asked myself if this was what I had to do and struggled to consider what I was going to do. However, as I got better relationship with the customer, I came to feel happy to do this job more that ever, although I still thought what I needed to do was more technical jobs. When our sales manager visited the customer, the customer appreciated my work very much, and the sales person told me so. When I heard of this, I thought what I did paid off finally and felt that any reluctant jobs could be interesting depending on how I work on that. 

Now I acknowledge that this job made me grow more than ever and more than I expected. A lesson which I got is that any jobs could make me grow and whether I can grow or not depends on how I work on that.
