Explain How We Become Stronger When We Faced With Difficult Times In Life

Sometimes in life we face challenges and difficulties that may seem
insurmountable. But is all right, difficulty teach us to become more flexible in life. We
need to learn to overcome obstacles that appear in our journey. Overcoming
obstacles is important because an ability to overcome obstacles allows us to move
forward in life, and not be held back by the challenges that we face. One late night 15
May 2017, one big incident happen to my family.
We have a restaurant as a family business and our
restaurant is on fire because of the lightning. We
lost the family business, everyone who work with
the family are jobless. To survive we have to sell a
lot of our property, we have to sell our two houses
in Bangi and Penang, four cars, three motorcycles
and vans. The whole family members have to look for a new job to maintain our

family income. However, we try to survive to rebuild our family business.
This essay will discuss about how we build our new family business, our
family ties getting closer and the hardship teach us to become stronger.

New restaurant have to rebuild, it may requires a lot of funds and also take a
times. So we use our experiences and skills that we have to earn our family income.
Father, mother and sister applyings work at the factory’s canteen. The skill that they
have in cooking give them advantages too get the job easily. For example, in our
restaurant father is the main chef, he can cooking many of malay cuisine menu and
also the western food. My mother will provide the orders everyday with the help of
the sibling. The culinary expertise that our family have make us can managing the

factory’s canteen wisely. My brother who graduate as a
accountant take the place to managing our money and
income montly. We save 40% of our income as capital
money to reopen a new retaurant. Other than that, we
have set a target in 2022 we will rebuild the new
restaurant to continue our family business. For the long
term saving, every month mother will buy 1gram of gold because the value of gold
increase in every year. Once we want to reopen the new restaurant we can resell the
gold that we have. It has always commanded good value in the market since many
centuries and you can rest assured that you will get a good valuation for gold even in

future. While other investments like real estate and currency are risky in some
situations due to various problems, gold is relatively stable and will always be able to
protect money in the long run. This is our effort to ensure we can reopen the
restaurant in the future.

Our family facing dificulties to meet each other although we are at the
restaurant. That is because all of us busy working at the restaurant. For
the example, our parents will back late at night everyday. Sometimes
they sleep at the restaurant if there is an event at the night. So we
usually have a dinner without them. Now we spend more time together at home
compare with when we have the restaurant. we are able to have a dinner together
everyday. The topics we talk about when the dinner make us laughs together. For
example, father share about the workers behaviour when they want to buys a food.
Other than that, in the weekend we also discuss about our plans to rebulid our family
business. What are we need to do for ensure the success of opening new restaurant
in the future. For example, we talk about how we spent for the week, find a new
strategic place to open new restaurant and promote our cuisine by selling it at the
night market. So we can make an improvement for our
income management, looking for a place that less at risk
of natural disaster and attract some new customers. Our
family ties getting closer becase we helping each other
to make sure we can rebuild our family business.

After the incident, our lifestlye has changed. We are not concern about our
money investment before this. My family will have a vacation abroad every 3 months.
For example, Dubai, Paris and New Zealand. We also buy a lots of branded things
even though we do not wear it that often. Now, we have to get rid all of the habits.

We have to save money from using it for a not important
items. Each of us had a one car before, but after the
incident only one car remains. So we
have to share it wherever we want to go.
This sacrifice we make because we want
to reduce costs. Our target now is to rebuild our family
business.The incident make us become more concern about how we investing our
money. If in the past we did not really care about the poor. Until now we know how it
feel to became poor people. Now, we learn to be more grateful. We learn to be more
appreciative of life. Although we lose our restaurant, all of our family still alive. Other
than that, the ancident teach us not to give up In any situation. There are still a hope

when we trying to find the solutions without doing nothing to find the way. We are
able to survive although our income is not as much as before, but it is able to cover
our lives at this moment.

In conclusion, We learn a lots of new things after that. Together we getting
stronger by keep on pushing through the obstacles until we can stand up again. We
be able to rebuild our new family business, our family ties getting closer and the
hardship teach us to become stronger. The spirit of our family motivate us to stand
up and never give up. So that we can maintain our relationship and together we
faced the challenges.
