As a businessman and positive thinker, I do not wish to look back. But always tried to learn from the past and try to make myself happy by remembering those sweet memories I ever had. The last 5 years have also not been smooth for me; it was full of challenges and marked with some sweet-sour memories. The year 2020 was especially challenging because of the pandemic “COVID-19”; all of a sudden, life was turned upside down. It destroyed my business; some orders were fully canceled, and the other few orders were postponed by my buyers. At that time my hand was fully empty. Some factories from my supply chain were fully shut down. And also faced some cheating experiences at that time, 2 brokers took advance payment against my orders and flew away overnight. It was 60,000 US Dollars. Overall, I lost about 300,000 US Dollars during that pandemic time.
During RAMADAN, in the year 2021, I was hospitalized for an incident and got 35 stitches on my body. By March’2022, I was hospitalized again and was confined to bed for 3 months. By the years 2023 & 2024, it was a big challenge for me to come back into business from a destroyed place. The atmosphere of politics was unstable in our country. It was a hectic period to run here and there because of some unavoidable circumstances. As I was not fit for work due to the said sickness. By the start of 2025, I’m recovering from my sickness and still facing challenges with some fruitful business deals.
Besides that, I have some good memories. I found the love and care from my family, especially my daughter; her caring mesmerized me, and her dedication and effort helped me a lot to recover from my sickness, which was beyond the boundaries. It was the most beautiful and sweet memory of my life to see my daughter as perfect and punctual, like a wise guardian. On the other hand, my little daughter is too small to do anything. But her presence in my life always plays a peaceful role. I’m so blessed. My wife is a born fighter against all challenges. Always positive and never settled with fear. I am always inspired and delighted by her. Regarding friends, all rich friends are selfish, and the needy friends are down-to-earth and always make good contact with me, always putting their support behind me.
Throughout the last 5 years, I experienced and gathered that the pandemic does not come with a warning message, and health is the most important thing for every person. By being cautious and aware, I always try to prepare against unpredictable pandemics. Who knows when it’s coming, and from where? What could be the effect and impact of that pandemic on family and business life? This is why I tried to diversify my business into multiple sectors, especially tech-based online, and sort of into cryptocurrencies. So, I can get support from multiple businesses to sustain myself during that pandemic or any other natural disaster. It’s a precautionary step that I’m trying to extend through my daily work life.
At the same time, I’m taking care of my health through a sequence of eating healthy food and a physical exercise routine. I left oily and junk food from my meal. Also trying to leave out sugar and other sweets, trying to eat more green vegetables and fish, instead of red meat. I’m very fond of Beef, but gradually I’m trying to leave. Black coffee is my favorite drink ever. But taking too much coffee in a day could be bad for health. And I’m also trying to minimize the quantity. To stay fit, I’m planning to join the Gym along with my daughter to execute my physical exercise under instructor supervision.
I’m trying hard and soul to make my everyday thoughtful by taking experience from the last 5 years. And I believe that it would be workable to save my business from any unpredictable disaster and maintain my health fit to work peacefully.
