Write about a person who has succeeded in life.

It is lunch hour. A large restaurant located in the heart of

Kuala Lumpur city is packed with regular customers. Waiters

and waitresses are busy serving the customers. Outside the

restaurant, the owner of the restaurant is seen arriving in a

luxury car. After parking his car, he enters the restaurant

and starts mingling with the customers. The humble man is

none other than my beloved grandfather.

My grandfather is a man of little education. He comes from a

poor family. After attending primary school, he had to stop

schooling due to poverty. As the eldest son of the family, he

helped his father at his stall selling barbecued meats. Life

was indeed difficult for him then. He had to get up early in

the morning before dawn and go to the market together

with his father to buy fresh chickens and ducks. Then, they

returned home to slaughter them, prepare the meats and

barbecue them.

My grandfather was extremely interested in culinary skills.

As a teenager, he was a fast learner and was able to

prepare the meats as well as his father before long.


One morning, my grandfather woke up early in the morning

as usual. He assumed that everything would go on smoothly

but little did he know that he had lost his father. When he

went to wake his father up, there was no response from

him. My grandfather panicked and called for an ambulance.

When his father was sent to hospital, he was pronounced

dead on arrival by a doctor. My grandfather was totally

devastated by the sudden demise of his father. In the midst

of his sadness, he knew he had to find strength to carry on.

To earn a living, he had no alternative but to take over the

stall that his father left behind. Using the small savings that

he inherited from his father, he continued with the business.

He learnt about finance from his own experience and

whatever he could recall when he was with his father. He led

a frugal lifestyle and only spent money when it was

necessary. He was so thrifty that when he got married a few

years later, his guests were only treated to rice and

barbecued meats. He was industrious and saved as much

money as he could. He kept his savings in a bank.

After a couple of years, his diligence and modesty finally

paid off - he had saved enough money to open a restaurant.


Thanks to his excellent management skills that he acquired

earlier, his restaurant prospered and his business expanded.

Apart from selling barbecued meats, he also sold other food

such as chicken rice, economical meals, dim sum and a

variety of noodles.
