Four days ago, my father suddenly died. Me and my family are very shocked and devastated by this tragedy, because just before my dad took me to the terminal for my farewell to my workplace on the other side of the island. The death of my father's unlock memories when I was a kid. When I was 5 years old, our family lives arguably so heartbreaking. Houses lined the ground, walled cubicles, and without electricity. Television is a luxury for us at that time. At that time my father worked only as an ex-seekers sacks while opening a small shop.
Nearly 6 years we lives like it, and the pain turned to when I step on the age of 11 years. With perseverance, tenacity, and dedication in working, dad earned the trust of a businessman to entrust their products in our shop. No money down. Of course my father accept it. Initially businessman was storing some things in our shop, and when it sold out, my dad pays businessman soon as he asked for his product more than ever. The businessman agreed, still with no money down, but this time wearing the payment due date. When the due date has arrived my father pay for it. Although its products have not been sold, my dad still pay the debt maturity. Of the products that we finally could change small shop into a shop.
So many times my father was on time in paying debt maturity. Apparently what happened? Unexpected! There are other businessman to store their product in our store, and not just one but more. They once believed to store their products in our shop without any warranty. How so? That's the lesson that my father gave me, that does not need much capital to start a business. The main thing is to work with honesty and uphold the trust given by others. Because when we are judged credible by someone, then by itself the trust that either will be heard by others. Either where the information! What is certain only with honest and uphold the trust, then on its own venture capital will be obtained. Free!
It takes time to build trust, but this is a fact. Although my father was gone, I feel the results of his struggle. Trust that he keep me current gain extraordinary life, perhaps even inconceivable to me when I was a child. This time with the father's departure caused us to reform the business that we run, but there are two things that we will not reform. "Honesty in the work, and maintain the trust given by others!". That's the legacy of my father's knowledge that is invaluable in a business undergoing.
